Why so much Stevie hating?

It's possible to answer the question without insulting anyone, either on this board or in the band.

Apparently, some people here are po'ed at Stevie because they think she's being selfish for not working on a new FM album.

The rest of the band COULD release a FM album with just Lindsey, Christine, John, and Mick; however, I believe that the band and record label are concerned that without Stevie, the album would sell about the same as a solo Lindsey Buckingham album. Maybe it would sell better than that, but I think that's a concern for them. Certainly the band doesn't want this album to tank like Time did, they want an album with the name Fleetwood Mac to sell AT LEAST as well as Say You Will. At least.

I would love an album with all 5 members, but I would still buy it without Stevie. I was disappointed when Lindsey left the band, but I ended up loving Behind the Mask. But I certainly didn't resent him for not making another album with the band. He had his reasons, so who was I to judge?
