A few of his songs are spiteful, but so are Stevie's. There are many, many more lyrics that reflect deep longing and love. Even GYOW reflects that longing. "baby I will give you my world"....

I think some people took that BTM as a slam on Carol Ann. Ditto for La Nicks - but I did not.

But, I am mostly talking about LB's songs allegedly about Carol Ann. But, I think you think LB never wrote a song about Carol Ann, so that point is moot on you

My other point is LB and La Nicks, esp., love to talk about the drug days and the craziness that went on. So, why should Carol Ann be prohibited from doing the same? She was there after all. And, LB has directly referenced her in his BTM.

Is Carol Ann mudslinging? I think so. But, I recorgnize it is her right to do so because it is the story of her life at that time.

On edit - LB and La Nicks are very careful to promote their loved starved relationship -- it plays well to the masses. So, they are not really going to slam each other too much in public. Rather, they ficticiously play up the sentiment on stage and the crowd eats it up.
