Why so much Stevie hating?

The fact that Stevie does not join in is holding them hostage in being a real Fleetwood Mac with new work.

I don't think there's any contractual issue involved at all. There wasn't when Lindsey left after Tango or when Stevie left after Behind the Mask. Plus, even if there was a contract in the last decade, as you say, then Stevie would HAVE to record with them. Steve's not keeping them from releasing an album as Fleetwood Mac.
