I'm sure most of them hoped that was going to be the case.

Those angry at Stevie over this situation need a harsh wake-up call. She doesn't owe Fleetwood Mac anything.

She does if she chooses to remain in the band.

She's given her life to them - they brought her great success and she has returned that many, many times over.

"Many, many times over"? I could almost get behind that, except that Christine had the most hits with Fleetwood Mac. Just sticking with this particular line-up, Christine and Lindsey had bigger hits off of their last studio album than Stevie (who really didn't even write that song), and that was when Stevie still had hit singles off of successful solo albums. So, no, she's always just been a part of a much bigger picture, and audiences know this, hence the bigger ticket prices, bigger venues, and second shows added in some some cities with the return of Christine, all just under a year of their last tour without Christine.

Stevie has every right to put her own career first,

That's a bit of a strawman. Who has said otherwise?

This all or nothing position has got to go.

Why? This is a position she has had regarding the others for years. Remember when Stevie said on August 18, 1987 (the press conference announcing Billy Burnette and Rick Vito) something along the lines of "we could wait another five to ten years for Lindsey to come around, but we're trying to preserve the entity of Fleetwood Mac, which is bigger than Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham..." Remember when she said Christine couldn't record songs for SYW and not tour? It would be hypocritical to change that now.
