If you don't like what they post, block them..

How do you know what I need?

It helps to try and understand members here.
What and why they think the way they do.

Block them? I've always thought that was
a childish thing to do. I've never blocked
anyone.

Michelle if you get mad at my honest response
do what you have to do. But know that I went
out speaking the truth.

Thanks and you haven't spoken any truth. You've judged people you don't know and given unsolicited advice in a forum where it doesn't belong. Go find a support forum and diagnose people there.

I 100% agree that personal attacks on this board directed towards other Ledgies is inappropriate. And as much as I'm team Stevie (even while cringing at the thought of using that term), I very much respect the views of those who are frustrated or angered by how things have played out recently with the band. And I appreciate and respect those Lindsey fans who have chimed in with a measured voice of reason as to the seemingly endless invective directed towards Stevie.

But more to the point, what frustrates me is that, whenever I go to a thread with a designated focus (like this one), the same members repeatedly post non-responsive, hysterical expressions of rage towards Stevie. If they want to start a thread on how Stevie is the devil incarnate, go for it. But it detracts from the Ledge for it to infect each and every thread on all boards, and frankly, I'm sick of it.

Except, you kind of do.

People have their motives and baggage. Sometimes understanding that in its utmost basic form might help understand someone motives behind their comments.

For instance, “Lindsey choked harder as a solo artist than he choked Carol Ann”’ might be offensive to survivors of domestic violence. Just like someone might not want to be associated with the domestic violence they’ve suffered. But what do I know?

Bluelight, I 100% agree with you. The constant negativity isn’t adding anything at all. It’s completely pointless. I totally understand people being pissed off I just don’t get why it has to be almost every other post around here and especially in the Stevie forum.

I am wondering how far someone can go with crazed rhetoric before another poster can call him/her out. Seems no matter what anyone does or says, they cannot be criticized?? They can disrupt and repeat the same delusional infective over and over and nobody can point out that they are nuts?

Hope I do not get banned for this.

My signature line.

You can come to any private conclusions about other people that you like, but you can’t come here with an officious and offensive attitude, accessorized with glasses and a cigar to play Sigmund Freud, pretending you’re in a superior and sage position to judge and analyze everyone else who posts here.

Well, it looks as if we've come full circle.

Nicely stated!

And, really, what’s the worst thing that could possibly come out of this? You don’t have to pay their ticket prices or buy their subsequent works? Hardly worth bringing down a Stevie/Christine thread.

Hope I do not get banned for this..

You shouldn’t. You’ve said nothing worse than anyone else.

I think you took that comment a little too literal. Yes, I have not been a huge participant as a fan of her solo work the way I used to be for the past 15 years, but I still will comment on an internet forum from time to time.

Except that’s EXACTLY what’s going on. All day, EVERY day on here as far as Fleetwood Mac and Stevie fans are concerned. Sorry you choose not to see it that way.

So, again, you’re still here.

You say you’re moving on, yet you’re still here.

Can’t miss you if you don’t leave.

honestly, I cant even remember who we are calling crazy now that there has been so much talk about what other people should/can/cannot say or what qualifies as "crazed rhetoric".

Really? LOL Im 100% down for contributing to a meaningful exchange of opinions but im not goimg to get into word games with you. I dont even understand your point.

Yeah, Im here for the same reason we all are. We express opinions and talk about topics.

Cant miss me? Why would anyone miss me or why would I expect anyone to miss me? I dont expect anyone here to care if I came or went! My comment about leaving the buding was not meant as "this place sucks im out of here" it was strictly a figurative way of saying Im not the fan I once was.

wowzers!
