Why, Oh Why did Stevie turn down "These Dreams"?

Ah well!

Come on, Brian. We know you're a vile person who relishes in others' misery. Yep, you're pure evil.

Do I have to bring up Paris Hilton as a contributing member of society again

Anything but that.

Again, that doesn't make sense, as she is not related to the band, and so who cares about making fun of that on this message board?

So, it's alright to poke fun at a celebrity as long as they aren't a member of Fleetwood Mac?

I thjink it goes to the greater point of making fun of anyone in a cruel manner is not exactly the best thing to do and if I am gonna get on someone for doing it, I need to get ready to take heat for doing it myself regardless of the ridiculed person's relation to FM.

On edit - I think we all do this and most if it pretty innocent and meant to be funny.

If someone poked fun at Stevie on a Britney message board, would that be okay? I don't understand your point.

Have you seen pictures of her at Cannes this past week? She actually looked classy and...demure.

Well, that's not what I was referring to at all when I said "hypocritical", and I don't care who people make fun of outside this board, all around town, not related to FMac. I mean, I could care, but for the purposes of this discussion it's just really not part of my point at all.

I agree that we all could be a little more sensitive, especially regarding celebrities. But again, it is to be expected. Paris Hilton is a media whore, so jabs are expected.

No, I haven't. Wonders never cease.

Just like I don't understand his point - I was specifically referring to people insulting Chris versus people insulting Stevie as it relates to the fact that Jessica might read the board. To bring in extraneous BS about making fun of other people just doesn't make sense to me. And why would I attempt to call him on that, anyway? He's always making fun of somebody, so it would be pointless.

While you may see it as "extraneous BS" apparently many do not

I thought you were saying it's okay to make fun of other celebrities on this board, so long as they're not in FM.
