Just trying to explain to you that Nicks Fans are not the enemy... they're just fans of Stevie, like you are of Christine (in fact, I noticed that the vast majority of the people who've been offering you good thoughts, best wishes, and prayers for Cash's quick recovery... even offering to find a way to help with the medical bills... have been "chiffonheads").
We're really not a bad bunch of people... we're just fans.

I never said they were the enemy. Only a select couple, that have made Chris' house a mess lately. JMO. I like Chris' house nice and clean. Not that it's my choice...but I'll take out the trash, if need be.

Well, if you're talking about Curtis... he's a Christine fan, too.
Just not as big of a Christine fan as he is a Stevie fan.

But that's allowed, right?

By the way, I think our saucy and salty Christine would enjoy someone adding a little bite to her forum. She's always been down to Earth, and would probably think it's hysterical.

(By the way: part 2... you'll be happy to know that I've been addicted to Christine lately. Being in love has made me want to listen to a lot of "silly love songs."

No offense, dear, but you are high. I mean, honestly - unclean? who are you, Hitler? Or some weird book burner? I would think not. The christine forum is like all the others - a place to discuss Christine. There is massive "criticism" on the Stevie board, and some on the Lindsey...
Is your psyche really that fragile that you can't handle any jokes/diverse opinions of Christine?
Are you trying to create a "pure board"?

What's the big schlemiel?

It would be sad if anyone who wanted couldn't go to the Chris board and discuss what they thought of her stuff. It's not like she's the Virgin Mary or something - she's a musician, with all the strengths and foibles that entails. No one is "perfect", not even Miss Perfect!
And we both know she would shudder at the thought of anyone saying she is perfect.

No, I never mentioned anybody, you did. Everyone should play WITHIN the rules, right? I, certainly, always try to. And always will. Rules IZ rules, after all. I've always been good about following rules. That's for sure.
But, sh*t in my backyard, and........

Which rules are you talking about? Would Bob Dylan have those rules?

Yes because he consumes our every thought!

Sorry, carry on.

No dear, but the climate has done a 180 around here lately. It was really nice around here, until a week or so ago. Am I not entitled to my opinion?
If "they" choose to dole it out, then most surely they can accept reciprocation, no? I've NEVER doled out(or been) to to their playground. Tit for tat.

Simply posting within the rules, and FAQs of the Ledge.
Bob Dylan's a songwriting legend. I don't care for him myself, but, nonetheless...

What is the nature of this "climate" you are referring to?

Is it someone with other than glowing remarks about CM, or something else?

Yeah, which? I didn't see the transgressions of the faq.

I'm not being snarky, but I don't know which rules you're referring to. The Ledge rules? No one's breaking any of those by making a joke about Christine on the Christine Forum (just as, conversely, no one's breaking them by making a joke about Stevie on the Stevie Forum).

I think that all anyone (well, at least Amber and I) is trying to tell you, is that you don't need to be so defensive about Christine. Step back and remember that you're the guy who thinks Stevie's fans are ridiculous when they get so defensive about her... and then you'll get the gist of what we're trying to explain to you.

Someone saying they don't like 'In The Meantime' (or 'Christine McVie'), or making a smartass joke about how many copies her albums have sold, isn't going to sully Christine's board. She's really not in need of any "protection," as she's never been raked over the coals on ANY of the forums here on the Ledge (or anywhere else!). And the very few people who aren't crazy about her, are hopelessly outnumbered by those who either love her or at least like her.

She's as good as golden 'round here -- much moreso than any of the other bandmembers (with the exception of maybe Peter Green, as SteveMacD rightly pointed out)... and a few criticisms or jokes, even on her namesake forum, isn't going to ever change that.

Homie, of course you're entitled to your opinion... but keep in mind that you're talking about one lone thread amongst many others here. It's not a total 180... it's one thread. And it'll die soon enough, just like any other thread eventually does.

Well, it does seem odd to make or have made cracks about Stevie on the Rumours Forum, the Post-Rumours Forum, the Lindsey Forum, the Christine Forum, etc. -- all places which Stevie's fans also constantly view and post... not to mention the little Stevie dig in your signature line which is seen each and every time you post... and then say that no one's allowed to make a joke about Christine here, solely because there happens to be ONE forum on which you refrain from making jokes about Stevie (and, let's be honest, that's only because you're simply not interested in visiting that particular forum, otherwise you would be making jokes there, too).

And, again, we're not even talking about jokes about Christine that are even terribly mean-spirited or scathing.

No one can ruin or **** all over Christine's forum with just a smattering of flippant remarks. But if you still don't want to read what __(insert name here)__ has to say, then put them on ignore... and the Christine forum is as good as pristine again.

I'm saying this as a friend... not being argumentative.

Wow, I thought he was talking about some heinous thing that I did not see - but now I realize he was talking about some totally inocuous thing that no one on the Stevie forum would even blink at, if someone said it about STevie.
How weird that, in actuality, it was the totally innocuous comment that made someone upset.
That's weird, in other forums, someone would just argue with whatever was said, and it would be business as usual.
Maybe Christine is more sacrosanct than I thought? I just thought no one was saying anything bad about her cause they didn't have bad thoughts about her. I didn't realize there was a "Christine Mafia".
