my only problem with your narrative is that you keep saying that "the band" or Mick Stevie and McVies fired Lindsey. that's not true. McVies didn't fire Lindsey. remember first vote they took, while Christine was on the plane to London and Lindsey on the plane to LA, with just Mick, Stevie and John, was Stevie and Mick for firing, John McVie against. John went back to LA and then Mick had to "work to convince" John for 3 days that he should do what Mick and Stevie wanted him to. so then John agreed.
then Christine was told and apparently disappeared off the face of the earth for several days and refused to have anything to do with them - or something like that. and then they dragged her back.
so no, McVies didn't fire Lindsey, they didn't want him out of the band. they had no problems with him whatsoever, probably just the opposite. they just went along after a lot of convincing, and probably threatening with contract breaches (which was bs because they actually breached the contract by firing Lindsey, and that's why they ended up paying him like he toured with them).

So Mick is as big a douchebag as $tevie. That's no surprise.
Even if the McVie's didn't want him to be fired, they ALLOWED IT, regardless of Mick's pushing them to accept it. The McVie's STILL SUCK for allowing it. IF THEY'D STOOD UP TO THE OLD BITCHY GOAT, it wouldn't have happened. Lindsey is the only one I still respect, and if he goes back to this sh*t show.....
