I like to back up what I am talking about. Thanks.

Whether you picked all of the negative ones are just some of them they're still a small minority. Most people are excited.

exactly! and people keep discussing their excitement, so why keep amping up the negativity?

that said....... if you think nobody should criticize your favorite member or have a little fun at their expense, maybe you need to just stay in the forum that's dedicated to that specific member. i took a look into SN forum and there's tons of spitting on LB's musical contributions as well as name-calling of his fans - but it's SN forum, a place where her fans can play together and enjoy their groupthink.

if you come to the Rumours forum, it makes sense to have discussions from all angles and expect equal praise and criticizing of all FM members; not everyone will think that your favorite farts rainbows while everyone else can make nothing but crap . so if you can't stand your favorite being criticized and the only thing you have to contribute to the discussion is expressing your outrage over that, maybe you shouldn't be coming to the band forum.

yes, there are many many LB fans who left TL and don't think it's worth to ever come back here anymore. but lately there has been some newcomers on all sides and they are throwing some interesting opinions or knowledge in the mix, so there's at least a bit of discussion now. and open discussion without walking on eggshells all the time shouldn't be a bad thing.

The Christine fans are what makes the ledge worth all of it.

But they have nothing on the unbiased, sensible, non-presumptive, logical statements and explanations from Lindsey fans...

BTW, your post count must be rocketing up with all this 'fun' stuff to talk about and say. I'm impressed with your stamina, shall we say.

I am totally clueless. Could someone please explain, what is a spirit catcher?

You know it! And I wasn't ignoring responses to my spirit catcher observations. Yesterday was a travel day for me(and The Ledge isn't very android friendly - especially while driving, lol), and today was a two job day.

I'm sure that Stevie doesn't care that some people think she's a loon, for still embracing such "hippie" things in 2014. She's timeless...

I can't wait to hear the Lindsey/Chris efforts!

I just don't see this level of ridiculing Lindsey or his fans over in the Stevie forum (maybe I need to look into older threads). They don't seem to play at Lindsey piss taking

I think some of us were just trying to point out that this thread had at points turned into a Stevie bitch fest, when it was supposed to be about Christine/Lindsey in the studio.

Yes its ok for everyone to say whatever they like about band members, and its ok for people to express how distasteful they find certain comments.

Both have been characterized as narcissistic divas by members of the other's fan groups... Probably because that's true for both to a degree. I love them anyway!

i don't know if it happened there too, but there were several posts here deleted last night, mainly directed at Christine and her fans i think. my understanding is that was because of

The user was calling the so-called "anti-Stevie" people idiots and jackasses, talking about how stupid we are for paying for the tickets, while saying stuff like how we can't wait for drama queen/diva Stevie to die. Paraphrasing, of course. I responded to that user before his rants were deleted. People!
