I agree that she has a lemming-like fansbase, but I actually think what's worse is the people who dislike OSOTM, Street Angel, and that whole period of her work simply because Stevie herself has now practically disowned it. That's just blindly following whatever she says.
Maybe I'm just being defensive because I really like OSOTM. I hate Bella Donna, though...

Good point about the OSOTM/Street Angel period. There were moments during that time where she was in amazing voice, (check out some of the live recordings from that period... wow), her back up on Rick Vito's Desiree, and songs like Rooms on Fire are among her career's best writing, unfortunately it's become overshadowed by some serious missteps, but to me, the era had a lot of potential if she had had Tom around at the time to give some "Hard Advice".
