If you are friendly with someone and you hear someone speaking rudely about her or him e.g. blaming her or him for something would u be honest & tell?

All my friends and family know, and acquaintances soon find out that I deal in Zero drama and Zero rumors or speculations about anyone or anything.

Example if I hear hey this person said that and that what do you think. I will take the person making the statement to the person they are talking about and say Joe Bob here asked me if you said or did this or that, and what my opinion is about it. So, did you say or do this or that so I know how to properly reply to good ole Joe Bob right here next to me. That ends that crap very rapidly and they Know I am extremely serious and transparent when it comes rumor and drama. It has left me without the rumor-ist or drama queens as friends, but I prefer life this way, so it is not loss to me.

I hate that crap, and damn sure do not put me in the middle of it either I will go out of my way to bust the Balls or Ovaries over it.
