"Someone's uncle's wife's friend's sister told me that you told her that..."
If we have a mutual confidant, then according to your scenario I would know who blurbed to you what I blurbed to them. "Seem to" is thusly rendered irrelevent and our mutual pal is no longer mutual. On my end.
Your attempt at flushing me out is just that, and I got to get me to church.
Goodnight.
