How do you perceive that kind of thing as gaining power?
Most people know if I think somebody is a shit. If said person is a friend of theirs, I tend not to harp on about it because I don't really see a point. (If they actually are a shit, as opposed to me just not liking them. I can find somebody's personality unpleasant to be around without necessarily thinking that they are an asshole.)
In the case of Sue and Bill, I pulled people aside and told them that despite what Sue had said, I was the person who had loaned Bill the money and he paid me every month religiously and let them draw their own conclusions about it. If they were surprised when she later talked shit about them, well, Yet Another Learning Experience.
