Does it really matter if it's "equal?" I've seen extremely disrespectful actions from both "sides," and bogging ourselves down with a "who does it the most/does it worse" debate isn't going to move anything forward.

Look, I'm not excusing the boorish behavior of some Nicks fans. I see it and it bothers me too. Perhaps it even bothers me more, because I am a Nicks fan and I know for a fact that we don't all think Fleetwood Mac lives and dies by her involvement (even if we happen to prefer when she's a part of the lineup).

My original point was, and remains, that it seems short-sighted and unfair to hold the actions of their respective fan-bases against Stevie and Lindsey.

Knowing human behavior, I have a hard time imagining that Lindsey fans never stand in front of Stevie, ignore her, and yell things to him. You may not have witnessed it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. (And if you're not standing in front of Stevie during shows, would you even notice it happening?)
