Vocabulary lesson

I just wanted to offer a vocabulary lesson to clear up what exactly the word bad-mouthing means.  To bad-mouth someone means that you are talking about them in an untrue way or criticizing or speaking unfairly of them.  Bad-mouthing is not simply telling of the events that have taken place especially when there is overwhelming evidence to back up the events that are being spoken of.  If the things being discussed are true without a doubt, it is just relaying information. It is not even a point of view or "One side of the story", it is the truth!  The truth always comes out in the end anyway.

.v. bad·mouthed or bad-mouthedbad·mouth·ing or bad-mouth·ingbad·mouths or bad-mouths Informal
To criticize or disparage, often spitefully or unfairly:
