Good luck with that. And btw, I contacted mods after "my" attacks in the past month, and was told, "I don't wanna deal with it".

Back in the day, MANY of us lurked here for a couple of years, before joining, because it's ALWAYS been tough here. So tough that we were afraid to join. AGAIN, it's always been tough here. "Man up", and stick around for a while.
I guess you find it easier to try to bully folks around then actually write cogent, factual, well thought out posts. The latter is more difficult. I think I'll stick to with those who want to discuss the glorious music without all the angry vitriol. Makes life much more enjoyable. Have a great weekend.

I shall.

You remind me of someone else who used to be here. Makes me wonder if they still check IP addresses, for duplicates...

I'm spelunking tomorrow. Then we're going to a winery. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too.

Oxford English dictionary;

Noun:
1.2 A person who is regarded as willing to do anything to get a particular thing.
‘he's a shameless publicity whore’
‘you come across as a complete attention whore’

Verb:
1.2 Debase oneself by doing something for unworthy motives, typically to make money.
‘he had never whored after money’

I'd say both terms fairly apply to MF.

Ha ha. Mick was sweating
I wish he would have asked at the end. Why wasn't Christine involved in the decision? Why was the decision made when she was in London?

Well, I for once think Christine is lying, but yeah, so many questions to ask greedy WHORE Mick. I guess he will start changing to trains now because every time he tries to catch a plane there's someone there asking him about Lindsey and letting him know what we all think about him and greedy selfish goat Stevie. Which I love, btw.

They have now a clear idea of where we're standing about Lindsey's firing and why tickets are not selling. Yep, Mick, you and Stevie did this.

Well, so many of you hate Stevie and Mick so much and were saying the tour was a cash grab and not worth attending before Lindsey was out, so it's a win/win for many of you.
I think spewing so much hatred is a waste of energy, but to each their own.

No REAL FM fan would be offended by this use of the word “whore”; it’s in Mac member lyrics fercryinoutloud


Who would run such a forum? Hypocrite Stevie? Rule #100: no mention of the song “Come” Rule 101: no mention of the song “Bel Air Rain”

Also it’s a huge stretch to take “Shut it” as a threat. I read it as: stop threatening others with banning based on your total ignorance of forum rules cuz u make yourself foolish and derail the topic at hand

Moving on. Mick Fleetwood is a whore who has degraded his own legacy for money and, possibly, spite. Until he will tell the truth, he really should shut it. He is coming off as a joke and making a mockery of the Macdom.

I actually don't hate them. Hates a strong word and I can't really hate someone I don't know. That said--I do hate their actions--and while we/I don't know everything that went down, it looks like Stevie and Mick may have had more of a "guiding" hand in the situation we are all dealing with. I do think they are withholding some info and there are some machinations going on behind the scenes we will never be fully aware of. Lindsey's speech a few weeks back solidifies that it's more than just "tour schedules" If he was lying about it--FM org probably could have slapped some sort libel suit on him.
I think there is so much venom and hate going back and forth because it's pretty clear FM are NOT telling the truth about what really happened, and fans of the Rumours 5 lineup are not happy-

Good point. TMZ rwferencing Lindsey’s fans was fascinating. But are ticket sales bad? It’s seems to be doing really well but I don’t understand how these things work.

I haven't been keeping up with ticket sales, as a Fleetwood Mac tour without Lindsey doesn't interest me. I doubt it will do terrible, but it won't be as big as previous tours. As for the FM legacy being ruined, I think their legacy as an iconic band is sealed.

I agree--I think she knew more then she let on--She looked way too uncomfortable to not have been given some type of heads up what was coming. I honestly think everyone of them were withholding some truths a bit in that interview.

I’m not sure all five of them won’t come off looking like a bunch juvenile idiots after everything comes out, if that happens.

Mouse you don’t seem to really read people’s posts but just insist on pushing your own line of thinking on everyone and continuously derailing threads. That’s what you’ve been doing from day 1 in the first thread you joined.

I can easily look at the forum rules that you posted and say you broke most of them just in a week you’ve been here. I’m out of this discussion. I’ve posted before reading all the replies and others have stated it all much more eloquently than I ever could. Yet you still ignore all that and insist on your same points over and over. That’s not respectful discussion.

It’s very possible she knew more than she let on. However, it’s just as likely that the source of her discomfort in the interview was her being required to get behind the new lineup. She came out of retirement for this?

Whatever she knew or didn’t know, it’s pretty clear she’s still holding on out of loyalty to Mick. The lure of more tour $ doesn’t hurt. But if a chance to record new music with Lindsey, either as a duo or under the FM headline, presented itself, she’d likely have jumped at the opportunity.

One of three scenarios come to mind.

1: They were being benevolent and kept her out of the decision out of respect for her musical partnership with Lindsey.

2: They went behind her back because they knew she would protest and vote no anyway.

3: They waited until she was gone so that she couldn’t convince John to vote with her, preventing Lindsey, Christine, and John from blocking Stevie and Mick.
