I never thought of myself as a “chiffonhead” because Stevie’s gypsy style doesn’t really matter all that much to me (though it is unique and interesting). It is her voice, her songwriting, and willingness to put forth her deepest darkest emotions and vulnerabilities on record that I love. It’s about the music, not the image, in my mind. I was tired of people making condescending blanket statements that all Stevie Nicks fans that posted here were somehow less than intelligent and narrow-minded in their all-consuming love of everything Stevie. Now, I better understand why people are cynical when it comes to such fans. I only ask that we all respect posters here, regardless of their affiliations, so long as they are not doing harm. It would be nice to treat posters here like individuals with human feelings, too. I’m probably just making a big deal over nothing going on at a message board though.

Lastly, The Ledge is just a place I enjoy the heck out of, and I hope to stay here for a while longer...I’ll be looking forward to more good debates, discussions, and laughs, everyone.

I love you, Justin.
