I wasn't implying that at all, I know you're a fan. Perhaps somewhat unfairly, I used your post as a singular example of something that happens all the time. I do respect that you're feeling disappointed and even share the sentiment to an extent. An album with all five would be fantastic, but Stevie has a right to choose what is best for her, just as Lindsey and Christine have also done.

I'm not being negative. Although I'm not nearly as big a fan of LB and CM as Stevie, I'm very happy this album is coming out. I'm sure it will be very good, I'm sure the fans will be thrilled, and I don't see it as disrespectful or a slap in the face to Stevie in any way, shape, or form. I was merely pointing out that when someone questioned why the project wasn't being called Fleetwood Mac, it was suggested that Stevie threatened to sick lawyers on them and go to the press when no one knows that at all. Even you offered a more sensible explanation for the decision that wasn't personal or insulting to anyone. Maybe Stevie did do that, but I doubt it. I can't imagine you would stay silent if someone accused Lindsey of such off-putting behavior if there wasn't a trace of evidence to suggest it.
