Best Era Of Fleetwood Mac

Then a few Ledgies took it to a level where it became like politics and they would slant any evidence they could to serve their thesis. IN EVERY THREAD!!!

Then came the Kristen or Christine bashing. Christine's return literally turned the shippers on their heads. And they even said a few things about Carol Anne (that she read) {I have talked to her a few times and this subject came up}.

And when I called a few people out on their behavior, they would say things to the effect, "we don't mind Christine being back, we're just not interested in her..." OR .. "we know he's married with children; but, we still know that these lyrics mean they are in love." OR "We only bash Carol because of the errors in her book." (meanwhile Stevie says an untruth almost every interview because she's burned her brain out. " There is no question." No debate.. No discussion.. just shipper land.. which became really creepy....

Yeah, I guess things like this happened I just never saw any of it (I used to read threads here before I joined), I always had a different idea of what a 'shipper' is. More just like a fan, you know. There are extreme/delusional people in any fan group of anything so I guess even here too.

I didn't see anything but people excited about Christine, but I did see some people annoyed at Mick because they said the reason that they had all these tours back to back was because he needs money

Carol Ann seems a bit odd though, I saw that thing where she flipped her lid on Nicole who's always really nice to people and Nicole had to reply saying she never even said anything bad about her or her book and that other time apparently she like yelled at someone who pointed out that a picture she posted saying was her on her old couch in her basement was actually a picture of Stevie. I guess it's nice that she interacts with people on Facebook but part of me thinks it's kind of odd that she does that, idk why.

I mean, like I said, I don't really know. I just remember someone asked Richard Dashut about that thing with the couch photo so someone reblogged it on Tumblr and I read it and I just thought her reaction was really weird.

For all I know she could be the nicest person on the planet.

She's a sweetheart.. and great sense of humor. If you go back and read some of the archives of that website you can get a feel for the sentiment and creepiness over there. Just the hatred for Christine alone was staggering.

Haven't been there in a long time, but some of the comments are laughable.

I loved Richard's blog. He got some weird questions for sure but all his answers were really nice and diplomatic. He had such a sunshine-y attitude towards everything and he shared so many interesting tidbits and stories. I remember reading a long, funny one about when they went on a skiing trip or something and he said how Lindsey was embarrassed because he wasn't a good skier and he likes to be good at everything.

It was kind of like that. (Richard's blog).. If he said something that didn't support LB or SN being together people would attack him. If he favored LB in a story, chiffons would attack him.

I have no doubt why he stopped answering questions. Some of the Stevie fans are worse than the shippers. They have a story in their head about how things are and that's final!! Even if you were there like Carol or Richard, if you don't agree with how it's in my head, you're toast.

And people wonder why I stay out of the Stevie forum...

Not saying ALL, but some Stevie fans are just f*cking nuts.

That's the thing I found intriguing about Richard's blogs, though... I submitted several music related questions during the height of his activity, and none were ever chosen. I wasn't bothered by this, but I found it puzzling how Richard responded to so many rude and downright pointless questions/comments instead.

I think for him, he was trying to settle people down with his answers. He was so polite. And they kept getting worse. And he probably got flooded with the crazies... lol

When you have the anonymous feature enabled, that allows for a lot of those questions because the people who send them are usually a minority but it's the same group sending them over and over. So he likely got a lot of weirder ones and was trying to deal with them. Plus he must've thought some of them were funny.

He did answer a lot of other great questions and offered some wonderful insight, always honest but respectful. I loved all his pictures and the little stories he would share.
