A pebble dropped in a pond causes ripples. It don't have to be a big one either. It could be one of those little ones, but the ripples are felt right up to the edges of the pond. They then come back with less energy until the water is still again.
Such is the dynamics of social interactions in any group setting. Sometimes those who have nothing to talk about will chat about the little ripples caused. But if the ripples are small then they have no facts to go on. Their thoughts on the pebble are without any real knowledge or foundation, they can only surmise, guess. Then wonder if there is a threat, wonder if they should be taking action or not. Draw up their own conclusions and then by their own actions, others still make comment.
What a complicated world of social interactions it is. Give me a game of chess any day.
