I wouldn't call it harmless. Some of it crosses the line to
bullying. And there's no telling how many Ledge members
have been run off by it.

I'm not a fan of Stevie's anymore, so it's not coming from
that point of view. I'm just wondering how a handful of people
can keep the hate going on for months? Doesn't it get tiring?

The term bullying is being abused and misused lately. If the band’s fans are “harmed” by criticism of them they need to go someplace where the band is not going to be criticized. A personal attack on bandmembers is not a personal attack on a fan and those that take it as such really probably should not be online.

I’m more worried about some loony getting fueled up on the excessive hate and bitterness on forums like this and causing actual harm or worse. I’ve already heard rumors of death threats against band members. But we don’t have any responsibility for that, do we?

I don't agree with a lot of your opinions on here but I would not have taken you for a drama queen...I stand corrected.

Oh please, no one has come near anything like that here. She deserves all the goat calling she is getting.

Amen. 20 ish years ago, $he had some psycho named B*ll Gamels*n(I'm always discreet enough to not get sued, lol), that was a major stalker for her old goatness. I only remember because I saved a pic of him skydiving with a license plate with her name on it. I believe they had to get a restraining order against him.

$he ain't Bob Dylan, and $he ain't John Lennon, either.

FWIW, he's still around and not acting much differently.

Yes he went to jail in January over the threats he made to Stevie & her family.
So currently another restraining order has been placed on him. A day before their Phoenix show the venue was warned by a fellow Aussie & also the band after i contacted Denis Dunstan he lives down the road from me.
Yep BG is a real nutcase!!

She probably thought no one would notice the absence of Lindsey in the band because she’s the absolute Queen. She wanted to punish him AND his family, for whatever horrible thing he must have done in her twisted mind.

She probably never imagined the hate that was gonna come her way, and much less what happened with Lindsey last week.

And all this because of some stupid whim. Yes, she deserves what she’s getting right now. I’m sure she and her fans can take it. Same with the rest of the band.

No, we don’t have any responsibility for that. It would make more sense to worry about irrational, obsessed Ledgies coming after other Ledgies than to worry about the band members.

no, you did not hear anything. if you were really worried, then you wouldn't try to spread bs made up by gldstwmn.

she made it up on twitter after reading Finn talking Bon Jovi lyrics - and Finn fans laughed her off for her ignorance so she took it back. i think he quoted "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive."

But some people choose to believe it because it's easier than, let's say, face the fact that what Stevie did last year brought some nasty consequences. For everybody, except her.

Although her four children might disagree, I'd say it's the nastiest thing $he's ever done.
