The sea-change that has happened here is no one's fault but Stevie's. She's managed to turn her most ardent, lifelong fans against her- no small feat!
We do agree on one thing, though. I feel that referring to her as a goat is just petty. Calling her out for her own diva behavior? Totally fair game.

I'm afraid I have to admit I am one of those changed. I was pulled into the Mac machine in '97 because of Stevie. I was bewitched by her, under her spell completely. When I first saw the band live in '04, I screamed nothing but "STEVIE!!!" for the first 20 minutes starting when she walked out on stage. I literally lost my mind. Saw her live in '05 as well because I simply couldn't get enough of her. But lately, that feeling has dwindled drastically and it's because of this behavior. Surely the woman has the right to do what she wants and has earned it but the games must end. It's tiresome and it's downright ridiculous for grown adults to still be playing this game at their age.
Decide what you want to do and stick to it. If the solo thing is what you want, then please by all means, leave the band.
