I don't understand the need to make fun of others' accounts of what happened. Why does this same argument have to start up everywhere? Why can't you all just let people have their opinions and be done with it? To imply that this was some "mass hallucination" is, to me, as ridiculous as the "surrogate mother" story, and to equate this whole thing with that story to begin with is downright ridiculous.

I'll let the first part of that statement, which is your words not mine, stand on its own. Further, whatever feuds I may or may not have in other boards should remain in those boards. "The fact is..." well, you don't know the facts. None of us really do. I've made a decision to believe in what Cory Buckingham has written.

I believe these "grown women and men" should have respect for the children involved here, children who soon enough will find a lot of this swill on the web and perhaps end up having problems as a result. We all need to show respect and human dignity. But that is something that should apply to everyone, not just to those of us with whose opinions you disagree.

There's no need to compare this situation to the Salem witch trials.

Why not? It's rather apropos in my way of thinking.

but I am a 23 year old woman going back to college for the second time, a full time job, and stressful stuff going on in my life just as all of us do. Why in the hell would I go around posting on message boards posting crap about a rock band just to get people riled up? !

It's wonderful that you are going back to college. I look back on my college years with extreme fondness and I hope your time in college is as rewarding as mine was. Nothing of what you've posted so far has riled me up, so have no fear.

Let me start by saying I don't really doubt anyone's story of a baby sighting, I wasn't there and if Jason and Meredith claim it happened, I'm inclined to believe them because I find them to be trustworthy.

However, I think that Carne is questioning the validity of this sighting because it originated from certain shippers who have made the outlandish claims about the surrogate mother and the "Kristen-only-got-pregnant-so-Linds-would-marry-her" theory. I can't fault him for that because if those same people said that to me, I'd be forced to tell them that my farts smell like dandelion wine 'cuz they is some dumb folk.

But, others may differ and chose to discount all of the eyewitness testimony no matter how unrelated it is, etc.

I'm not arguing "something" wasn't seen. I am suggesting that perhaps people saw with their eyes what their minds told them to see. Think of all those people who "see" John sitting next to Jesus in The Last Supper when it is quite evident that Da Vinci painted a woman, Mary Magdalen.

I totally agree.

Why do you look at it as "making fun?" All I've done is point out that a lot of the folks who made this claim are the authors of some rather fantastic stories and theories regarding Lindsey and Stevie. They lack credibility, in my book.

Or... do you believe that Kristen is the surrogate mother of Stevie's baby?

If that was the case, Christy would be posting about how Lindsey stripped and sung "Time Bomb Town" while sending her air-kisses at each show she went to, and Jason would've posted about how Stevie came down to shake his hand and nuzzled her cleavage in front of him for inspection.

But it ain't happened yet.

No, I do not believe that, and that is a perfect example of "making fun". And why do you always assume everything is directed at only you, and no one else?

What's this I hear about no Silver Springs?

What's the big f-ing deal? Some people saw a baby. There's no guarantee that it was or was not Stella, but there was a baby. Two of the people who've mentioned it- Jason and Farrah- are people who have been around for a long time and wouldn't make silly claims. Jason's not a shipper, and Farrah's not a DELUSIONAL shipper, so who cares?

There was a baby. It was Stella or it was someone else's. If it WAS Stella, then I can understand perfectly well why Cory would say Stella wasn't there. Personally, I would feel rather uncomfortable if I were Lindsey and Kristen to have god knows how many possible psychos on the Internet know that the baby was traveling with them.

Who gives a **** anyways???

I agree that we should be respectful of others and that would extend to Kristen Buckingham also

Why is it making fun? Why can't it just be merely pointing out that the theory was bandied about at some point?

And why are you assuming that I assume everything is directed at me and no one else? What comment have I made to that effect? Can you quote it back to me?

Supposedly, Silver Springs got the axe because every time it's performed, it makes Stevie think about her surrogate child (the second-coming of Blanket Jackson that some have spotted in the audience) and it makes her sad because she can't be with him. There was an altercation at one show over this where Stevie and Lindsey got into a fight backstage and Stevie cut him with one of the rocks on her finger, only to get Linds into a piss-poor mood for the rest of the show. Kristen saw this, attacked Stevie after the show. Some believe that it was a high-five some believe it was a bitch-slap. You decide. In any case, Silver Springs was axed because she was sick. Or, tired, as I heard. Or, there was a curfew.

Or...at least this is what I heard from some fans.
