My friend Shofetim v'Shofetim. But the Chafetz Chaim was careful. He always said this. We like to be very careful to check things with the kashrut. Even if we're not so religious, we call Rabbi Mes Fai, we say, "Is this kosher? Is that kosher? Is this a good hashgacha? Is that a good hashgacha?" Said the Chafetz Chaim, "We're so careful with the things that go in our mouth, you have to be as careful with things that come out of your mouth with lashon hara." Could you imagine a person saying to a rabbi, "Rabbi, I want to say this. Is this kosher? Is there a hashgacha? Is there a O U on a comment like this?" Someone called me about a shidduch. "I'm not sure. You know, do you have a light box I could borrow so I could check with my lashon hara under the light box with a magnifying glass?" Shofetim v'Shofetim titen l'cha b'chol sh'arecha. The same way you have to be careful with what you say, how about with what you hear? Lashon hara is as relevant to the person who speaks it as to the person who listens to it.
