Kristen is perfectly entitled to express her feelings and frustrations about something that must've been a huge blow to her family. Just as Stevie is allowed to express her feelings about whatever through songs, or as you suggest, through ad libs she throws on to performances.

I've started to wonder if gldstwmn is actually Karen..........the dislike and disdain for all things Lindsey seems to fit. (Esp the bitterness towards Kristen) And the absolute belief in her own words.

Well, gldstwmn is certainly....hmm...."something else".

With an axe to grind, and a self righteous opinion on everything(and response to every single post on the board).

Except you've got pretty much DOUBLE my number of posts, in relatively the same amount of time.

Nice try, though.

Bitterness? Again with the dramatics. I don't know her but I see her.

it's interesting, i was at the FM News page yesterday, looking through the comments, asking questions of some of the commenters who were screaming "stop the negativity!" you know what prompted their comments? here's just one example: this title of the gigwise review of Lindsey's show, posted with the link to the review -

A brand new start for the sacked Mac member: 'Energised, effusive and clearly enthralled', says Lee Zimmerman, who reports for Gigwise from Knoxville


when i asked those commenters, why are they calling that extremely positive review of LB's recent show "negativity", some said - well, it says he was sacked. that's negative.

i and others replied - but that's not negative, that's just the fact. yet at least 4-5 people (who post there all the time, bashing LB) still insisted that whole post and the review was negative. they got back a number of questions and statements saying that again, this is a very nice review, and a positive and forward looking title, stating how Lindsey is making a fantastic fresh start - basically lemonade out of lemons.

so if you define anything positive about LB as "negativity" well then, maybe you have a problem? and if anything positive about him bothers you, just don't read it!

I never thought I'd say this, but that is such a classic example of generational differences-- there's a whole generation of people out there now who are so emotionally fragile that they can't handle anything that reflects reality. Any little difference of opinion, or even correcting of facts, makes a "hater". If you don't kiss my a@@ and tell me only what I want to hear, you're a "hater" and "negative" and all that crap. I fear for our society sometimes, I really, sadly, do.

It works both ways. A lot of Team Lindsey people get offended by positive reviews of Fleetwood Mac. Like, when a review says that Neil’s voice sounds good on Lindsey’s songs, the reviewers must be getting paid off by Azoff.

Yep. It’s all happening on both “sides”. At this point the only posts I can really deal with are the ones that don’t come from a place of pro-Lindsey, pro-Stevie, etc. Like your posts, SteveMacD.

you are going from thread to thread and forum to forum calling various people obnoxious. i've noticed that several times in the last few days. not exactly a positive message, yes?

i like some of your messages and don't like others. probably you feel the same way about mine. and that's a good thing. we can't all agree on everything.

Agreed. And he has stated that the present iteration of the band is a farce (which is fine BTW) but why waste your time watching videos of a farce or posting in the farce forum? I don't get it.

the problem with the "positive" reviews, at least the ones i've seen (and i only see the ones that mention LB because they come up in the LB searches, so i can't speak about all of them) is that the reviews that mention him are trying way too hard to marginalize him. "nobody's missing LB!" is the obligatory line in these reviews. really? seriously? that's a positive?

both such reviews and also Mick every time he's asked keep dumping on him or trying to diminish his role in FM legacy. that's completely unnecessary. and it makes both Mick and the whole operation behind the "new FM" look bad and petty.

it can't be fun having your life's work being dumped on and marginalized when you are 69. and yet, no matter how hard people try, it is undeniable how much he brought to the band and contributed to the legacy.
