Well that's just the thing Seraph. With how limited we know about each other, what we say about one another is all we have to go on. Sure they may not know who you are, but with what they do know, true or not, isn't good. And if people don't think well about you, they don't want to associate with you. And if we tell everyone in this RP how bad Stella is for once incident, how are we suppose to know if she's really that bad or just a moment of weakness? We don't, and frankly, no one is going to bother checking their facts. They believe what they want to believe. And despite what you may feel about others judging you, unless you never intend to associate with others ever again, it's really important not to have a bad reputation.
