There's a little feature called the "ignore list."

Use it if you don't like what some of us have to say.

Lindsey's penis was so small he had to write a song about Mick's penis! Even Peter Green's rattlesnake was smaller than Mick's.

Well, Mick is "Young Mister Rock Cock," you know. Who wouldn't want to write a song about that?

The suggestion to use the "Ignore" feature is a good one, and it comes straight from the User Guidelines here at the Ledge.

There are also a few other points that I'd like to highlight from those guidelines....

In general, the main "rule" for posting on The Ledge is the Golden rule--"do unto others..." An attitude of respect toward each other and the members of Fleetwood Mac should be maintained always.

(R)espect for others should also include a respect for ALL of the members of Fleetwood Mac, past and present.

In expressing your devotion to one member of Fleetwood Mac, please try to avoid belittling the accomplishments of the others.

We also have very definite rules against "harassing, deriding, insulting and mocking" other Ledgies... behaviour which a handful of people have turned into a sport here lately. My suggestion is that a few folks either straighten up and/or take their sadism somewhere else, or the mods are going to start weeding out the offending parties.

Sorry. This totally absurd vaginathing was started by a steviefan. Not by people who have other faves. It was even held against me -as a joke- a tasteless one, because I love Stevie.

And Johnny Stew, I should have reported that as an insult immediately back then. Actually, you explained where the dumb quote came from as I recall. You're very doublehearted when it comes to insults over here.

That's not true, because I do often contact Stevie fans and remind them to rise above the childish taunting and mocking that's far too often thrown their way. But, really, why should anyone have to constantly "put up and shut up"?

You were an innocent bystander in that particular conversation, of course, but then the little "flying vagina of death" comment directed your way was pretty innocuous.
You hold your own when it comes to debates and arguments, so I can't imagine you were seriously offended by it.

I think it is.

By the way, the fact that I walk a thin line when it comes to being playful during arguments and discussions, doesn't mean I can't be offended by stupidity. Especially when it's not directed at me, but towards my fandom.

I guess I didn't realize you were so thin-skinned, my friend, but I'll keep that in mind in the future when people make tongue-in-cheek jokes.

As long as we're pointing fingers, let's not forget that Stevie fans themselves are not above childish taunting and the hurling of insults. This entire thread, for example, was created for no other purpose than to call out an individual on something someone perceived as rude, when it would have been better to simply send a PM. Or how about another recent incident when someone resurrected an old, long dead thread for no other reason than to publicize their dislike for another member. Or how about the derogatory comments made about Bekka in the post Rumours forum?

So let's not play the part of the victims here, people. We're all guilty. No fan faction is immune to it.

You people are all acting like a bunch of twats.

I've never said anyone was completely innocent, but through simple observation it's easy to see that Nicks fans aren't typically the ones firing the first-shot in these little insult games. Comments from that camp are typically made in retaliation. You and Homer, for example, have often had intentionally inflamatory comments in your signatures... which are visible every single time you post... knowing full well that you'll get a rise out of certain people. So when that happens, why act surprised? If you weren't hoping for a reaction, you wouldn't bother.
That doesn't make it right, but it should be expected.

It's the old "if you fight back, we'll escalate our taunts -- and if you don't fight back, we'll treat you like an easy-target and keep taunting you anyway" bull****.

There are other ways to have fun and get attention, without resorting to mocking and ridicule.

Especially these Nicksfans-defense-posts are really tempting. I agree with the rest of your post, but this part is awakening alot of "tongue-in-cheek"-ideas in me. I bet Homer suffers from the same disease.
