The Rumours forum, as of late, seems to have been overrun with a bunch of three year olds. And yes, Missy, I'm also EXTREMELY disappointed.
There are certain people on here who have taken the disrespect to a whole new level. This isn't "friendly debate" or "respecting opinions" anymore. It is downright crude and discourteous.
I'm not only talking about the Stevie haters, but also the hate thrown toward the other band members as well. Just stop!

I've seen some of this. I may have even contributed to it in my own way. Without speaking for others, I can say the frustration life-long fans have had for five people who can't seem to get their collective butts in gear and make a new record that has already been years in the making is, well, trying.
There are a few things I don't get:
1. Comments about Stevie's weight or appearance.
2. Comments about the band being nothing without Stevie.
3. Comments about Stevie's sex life.
None of these things are really relevant, IMO.
I DO think fans have a right to be pissed and vent their frustrations about their favorite band, however. The prospect of another oldies tour without new music is simply unacceptable.
