Maybe it's not so much 'disliking Stevie' as much as it is actually 'liking Lindsey more', or is that a crime in your book too?
Or is this just another opportunity for some Stevie fans to wallow in collective self-pity, "those buckheads are so meeeeeaaann!!!"

Absolutely not, Mari. I have never said, or even felt, that everyone around here should love Stevie.
I just think it's more than a little unreasonable, with all due respect, for Lindsey fans to vent their frustrations towards her for the lack of material and/or tours from him.

Really, Stevie's singing on two songs on 'Soundstage,' which, totalled together, will probably only take up a mere 8 minutes in a 60 minute broadcast. And they're only harmony vocals at that. It's not like she hi-jacked Lindsey's performance to sing her own songs. He's still the star of the show.

And, hey, if people do tune in just because Stevie's there, but come away from it with a new-found appreciation for Lindsey (the benefit of which, is that it increases the likelyhood of stronger sales for his album, and, hopefully a solo tour) -- isn't that a great thing?
