The percentage may be the same, but the actual number is more, only because Stevie obviously has more fans. Thus, it is much more noticable. Personally, I don't have an issue with most Stevie fans. Since I consider myself a Fleetwood Mac fan above all else, I would obviously also be a fan of Stevie.

Well, that works both ways, too. I mean, I still see a lot of the same patterns of behaviors by certain fans after ten years. For example, if one makes the slightest, though
valid, criticism of Stevie, look at how many people come to her defense. I haven't seen the same with fans of others in the Mac. The ferocity to which people come to Stevie's defense is both amazing and scarey.
