I'm still trying to form an opinion of this beyond blind anger but -
remember the South Park cartoon? (Which wasn't that funny i m o,
but apparently some people, who consider themselves to be "true fans,"
did find it funny.) Is it possible they were referring to that and being
sarcastic?
At any rate, I think maybe they need to go back to the days when they
were calling her The Queen of Rock. I'm trying to give the benefit of the
doubt but SOMEBODY'S a horse's ass.
So how's that Nobel-Prize-in-Literature-Bestselling-Novelist thing GOING
for you, ANY-way!??? (etc. etc.)

OH, and also,
They suck.

I'm a true fan and I found that episode of South Park to be hilarious and one of their best.

yeah, i think it's possible to be a "true fan" and still have a sense of humor.

You absolutely have to have a sense of humour, about yourself and about an artist that you're a fan of.

I love me some "Stinky Vicks" (as my brother has always called her).

I hate RS with the fire of a million suns. Then, add on a million tons more HATE.

I thought the remark in this Rolling Stone item was crass, pointless & not the least bit funny.

Sure, the goat thing was used in "South Park" (& it didn't start there because the goat=Stevie connection goes waaaay back) but it was part of a routine: embedded in a story with clever writing & quips, part of an image that the South Park guys developed & built & carried through with animation (a goat with a skirt around it).

But that's very different from just nakedly saying GOAT like that. What's funny about that? It's just name-calling, no different from writing JOAN RIVERS IS A DESSICATED MUMMY in a news item.

It's a funny age we live in: hypersensitive in some regards -- especially with all the PC revisions of old speechways -- but in other ways just as crass & cruel as it ever was. It's a huge paradox that Rolling Stone wouldn't dare print the word "chairman" or the sentence "Everyone stood his ground" (so as not to offend women) -- but would, in effect, call Stevie Nicks a goat.
