It’s ok if you don’t believe me. This is the first time you speak to me.
exactly! asking people to name their sources is ridiculous. but it always happens here, and i'm always amazed. remember how much hate FM77 used to get? if people wanna believe the info you are giving them, great, if not, they are free not to.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people where they get their information from. It's the internet. People can make up anything and attribute it to "sources close to the band" (not saying you are of course).

Even if they're not lying, one person's "source close to the band" might be someone who really is in the know... and another person's "source close to the band" is the friend of the girlfriend of the friend of Lindsey's cousin who posted something in a private Facebook group. I'd personally like to know the difference when I'm weighing all the things I'm being told - especially when the information is contradictory.

Agree completely. No one here is a credible journalist protecting their sources. It is a game of telephone from “sources close to the band” who are obviously taking Lindsey’s side. Because it fits certain agendas, we are hearing about it. The same people would not be mentioning these sources if they had pro-Stevie, pro-Mick, or pro-Christine things to say about this matter. If these sources even exist.
