Is the gossip about you? If so, slap the living sh*t out of em. If not and you don't like the gossip about others don't be friends with them any more and tell the person they are gossiping about. People who talk about other people behind their back are almost always not the kind of people you want to be friends with.

If someone is gossiping stay away from them or they will drag you in the middle

I'd just tell them I don't feel comfortable discussing the topic and let's talk about something else. No need to make a Federal case out of it!

I'd walk away. tell them that you'd rather not get into gossiping about _________ because they are one of your good friends and your not into talking about people. if they don't understand then they must not be as true of a friend as they come out to be.

I'd tell them straight out that it's fine for them to dislike this person, but don't gossip about them to you. No need to be nasty about it, just tell them honestly this makes you uncomfortable.

It depends on the situation as well as the person who is being gossiped about. For example, I don't consider venting and gossiping the same thing.

I would politely ask them to not talk about the other person in my pressence. Just because you're friends with them, it doesn't mean you can't be loyal to the other person. Tell them you protect all your friendships, including the one you have with them. If they continue, leave.
