when one brings up what others say, usually random people, acquaintances, as a proof of "correctness" and truth? this is usually done in a gossipy way, sometimes it's done with the purpose to bring something/someone down, and then the stories they tell in support of their truth assume rather dark shades, the subjects they talk about become "bitches and drug dealers" and all the sort of bad behind the scenes come out, but often I suspect that these stories are not true and that the person just enjoys provoking others... obviously they even enjoy hearing of these intriguing stories and find them very amusing...
could this be related to anything socionically?
