Seems like there are certain type of people who would do anything to find out about another person without choosing resources. They usually are using cruelty other persons. They contact with those people with whom they usually do not communicate in everyday life. They spread the rumors. Why? Because THEY need something, need some information and DO NOT CARE which resources they use. Those are cold heartless people. Obviously they do not think straight.  In their head they are inside their own weird type of World, with their own obsessions. 

They are like "steel-birds" with powerful engine, loaded with bombs and destroy everything on their way. All there remains is destruction. No matter what good things others will do for them. They are jealous, never satisfied and never there is enough for them - insatiable. Only thing that they do is caring from themselves.
Sad that kind of persons exist. I do not judge them because i do not know their whole "story". But there are some ethical standards and if somebody pushes over due the limits, then obviously things are gone too far. This is childish and very immature behavior.
