What's good for Christine is bad for Lindsey?

Yet, the LB supporters will NEVER EVER admit that Then, the tour sells out or at least very, very well without LB at the helm, which IMO is a HUGE insult to him if not irony esp. since the same cannot be said if Stevie had backed out instead of LB. So, the debate rages on . . .

You're delusional.

Now we're supposed to empathize and consider Lindsey's behavior to be bad because he chose not to tour at the exact time Stevie was fresh outta rehab and going through personal turmoil? Gimme a break. Ever heard of personal accountability? Sorry, if she was in such hell, tough tacos because she did it to herself. Let's not twist this around and make it a no-no on Lindsey's part to leave because Stevie wasn't feeling well. Boo hoo.

What no one seems to get is that, it seems, Lindsey couldn't take the drama anymore, he didn't think it was healthy, he was working with people he no longer knew, and he wanted out. Let's not compare his resignation from his "job" to a normal job and relationships we have with our co-workers; they're wildly different. I don't suppose that any of you work with drug addicts all the time, people who are bitter, and people just out of the booby hatch. I don't think you;d want to go trolloping around the country with those people every night for months, would you? But, some people just want to make Lindsey out to be the bad ass all of the time and don't want to make any of the others band members accountable for the behavior that they had that MADE the guy leave.
