People often underestimate to someone, or judge someone as if they know all about her or him.For example Alice has bad perception about Boby even though Alice does not not know Boby well.Then Alice tell to her friends about Boby.In other word Alice make "public opinion" about Boby, so that the result is most of the public or the community around them believe that Boby is bad guy as perception maded by Alice.Furthermore, most of them dislike Boby.Do you agree with what Alice has done to Boby?Do you believe that Boby is really trouble maker in their community?

I know what you are trying to say.. There are lot of people in the society who claim to know everything about everyone and have made opinions about them and try to push their opinions about others on their friends and other people. But it is wrong.
IF someone tells me something bad about some person I don't know, I only hear what he has to say but never make an opinion about the person. It helps me to be courteous to that person when ever in future I meet that person. And then with open mmind I can understand him, his opinions, his attitude, his reasons for opinions and that is what is important.
Meeting a person with a biased opinion before hand is incorrect and unfair to the person.
