it's funny watching these threads, going from rational and levelled discussion to name calling, to stevie-police coming out in full force!

Chiffon card REVOKED! Policing is a good word.. they go thru the discussion and just wait to jump on anyone that DARES go against the pretension of La Nicks.

And for the first time, it feels like the Chiffonese are outnumbered.

Is that a neologism that indicates Chiffonheads of Chinese origins? Because if it is I'm totally down with that.

Yet again, completely untrue. Stevie fans wade through pages and pages of vitriol before any of us can be bothered to say anything to counteract the Stevie bashing. Then if we do bother to say anything we are called the Stevie-police. Can you see why I'm saying it just gets a bit dull and repetitive.

But anyway, carry on, I'm not expecting anything to change. Just making observations...

It's the double-standard I find most irksome. You shouldn't suggest someone sees things through Lindsey-tinted glasses, but it's fine to say someone else's opinions are filtered through a layer of chiffon. What's the difference?

why shouldn't you suggest that? i'll readily admit that in many cases it's true and that i jump to LB's defense a lot.

but also, if i see and discuss both sides of the issue, while someone else obviously sees only one side, than i'm not the one with myopia.

so i admit it. do you?

Do I admit that I sometimes post in Stevie's defense? Of course, but not nearly as often as I could. MoonSister hit the nail on the head when she said that we scroll through pages of vitriol before finally having to say something in counterpoint. Digs at Lindsey don't last long before someone posts a retort, so the "Stevie police" certainly aren't the only cops on the street.

We are a biased bunch on the Ledge (I wonder if we can name someone who isn't), but some biases just seem to be more acceptable than others.

yes. i've definitely seen people who are not biased here.

i have to say that i peaked to SN board to check that interview she gave about not participating in Mac album few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised how many unbiased and non-chiffon tinted posts by Stevie fans were there. so it can be done.

I'm not biased. But if I had to admit to leaning, I probably tend to favor Stevie more than the others.
