3 ways to avoid gossipping

Three ways to avoid gossipping:
1. He will carefully avoid all gossip, idle chatter, empty babble, and void hearsay
2. He will persuade others also to avoid all pointless good-for-nothing speech
3. He will praise speaking well formulated reasoned facts worth remembering
(from Samyutta Nikaya 55.7)
