Why the disdain for Mick?

[MacShadowsBall]

I'm glad that this is being discussed, because I have never understood the dislike/disdane/borderline hatred towards Mick Fleetwood. How can anybody call themselves a Fleetwood Mac fan when he or she can't stand Mick Fleetwood.

As far as the recent FM tours, I'm sure thousands of fans enjoyed them as I do watching youtube videos. We weren't exactly getting new Mac songs after Say You Will as Stevie and Lindsey were concentrating on their respective solo careers. Unfortunately that leaves Mick AND John out in the cold.

Lastly when I make of FM related purchase, I don't say to myself, "Boy I hope Mick and company spend my money wisely." Instead I say, "Boy I hope I ENJOY this album/CD/DVD or whatever I just purchased for my ENJOYMENT!
