Sorry, I tried to change the word "slander" as I didn't realise it was offensive. There does not seem to be a way to edit comments.
In any case my intention was not to be insulting or accusatory. It is just that from my previous work experiences when hearsay is passed around they become almost impossible to dispel - the onus of proof falls on the accused as opposed to the accuser(s).
