I think the difference is that Lindsey at one point agreed to the tour and then changed his mind. Christine did what she said she would and then stopped.
However I don't think anyone should critisize Lindsey for not touring at that point - he just couldn't do it anymore. Just like Christine couldn't face any more tours and so didn't take part in SYW. Lindsey eventually came back into the fold - when the time was right. Maybe the time will be right for Christine one day (I normally wake up about this point)
They should be allowed to make decisions based on what is right for them at a point in their lives without people having a go at them.
I would prefer all five in the band recording and touring - but only if it's really what they want and they're not being forced into it.
