If I may speak for myself, I just don't care as much about Fleetwood Mac as I have in the past. I've moved on to other bands and artists who I like --gasp -- more than FM, who seem to care about the fans more than FM, who put out more material/tour more often than FM. Sue me. I just come here to talk to people I like. Which is why I hang out predominately in the Chit Chat forum and end up getting yelled at by people who haven't posted in forever and moderators.

I post on other forums which is one of the reasons I've not been around here (if you want real lunatics sending death threats and stuff try a Pink Floyd forum! ) along with other reasons. Some personal, others related to this topic in question too. I don't have the focus on this band that I once did. That much is indeed true. But I also keep in contact with a lot of members and ex-members elsewhere.

If you are refering to me I hope I'm not yelling, its not my style, although I am rather a dinosaur here thats been dug up and by myself too this time. God knows how ChiliD feels if I'm ancient. I take it your tone is not intended in an inciting manner If it is then your username is very good!

Well, "yelling" wasn't the best way to describe it. But by this point, everyone's just saying the same things over and over again so there's no use, in my opinion, in continuing at it. And I'm definitely not trying to start anything, because I'm sure we all see where that gets us. (Also, I just have nothing to say that hasn't already been said.) So whatever, I'm dropping it.

Yeah its starting to repeat. Sounds like a Rumours rehashed thread huh?

Its up to the site owners and moderators to decide if any remedy is required and what form that may take. I think the points have all been made on each side of the case now.

since I encounter MUCH worse than here all the time.

Another message board I am a member of (It is such a well known website that it was listed in a recent VH1 countdown lists Top 10) recently posted a picture of a blue haired Perez Hilton (I think that's his name, I see his website listed here lots of time) and the stuff posted to remark about that picture (99.999% negative) makes what has EVER been posted here look like the Pope's bed-sheet by comparison- and yes (??!!) surprisingly that website is moderated...How it is moderated is beyond me
