I don't know about that, David. I see a huge difference in not caring for something (passive) and hating something (active).

I don't care for Santana's music, for example. I appreciate that he's a great guitar player, but most of his music just doesn't do it for me or bores me.

On the other hand, I hate emo bands like Dashboard Confessional. Actively and violently. There's a world of difference in my feelings toward Santana and Dashboard.

It's time we all recognized that the Fleetwood Mac audience is not one big monolithic entity with even remotely similar inclinations & proclivities.
A quick glance at the "What are you listening to right now?" thread proves that pretty easily.
