Do you need to ignore? Or do you need to defend yourself on such defamation? How do you defend yourself?

It depends on the kind of rumor or gossip. If I am being rumored to be going out with someone which of course is not true as I have been single and not in a relationship for decades, I would thank the rumor monger. In that way people would not perceive me as a rotten old maid, lol. On a serious note if the rumor mars my person and if my integrity is at stake I will take the proper legal action, anyway it is free, you only pay the barangay one dollar.

It depends on if im around the person to ask them about it or if it's online..i don't like to argue and will walk away from what i can .. To keep the peace I also try my best to not engage in other people gossiping about others .. It never ends well..so i stay clear of it .

And if it's below the belt? When your character and your moral were stepped? Should you still ignore it? I needed some enlightenment.
