I dunno. While I personally would never have been that rude if I were actually trying to communicate with her, the 'hypocritical, insufferable cunt' remark made me laugh quite a bit, because it's not so far from the truth.
The 'raped my childhood' type of comments are a pretty poor choice of words, of course, but it does seem like the defenders are the ones who are actually using them the most.
I agree that it's a poor choice. And while I'm not defending its usage, I'm not offended by it, either. As for Ms. Lucas, this is the same woman whom on her Twitter account says she "embraces vulgarity" (or something to that extent). Not that people should stoop to her level, but during this whole episode, she's proven herself to be a bona fide hypocritical blueberry alien.
I've also said this before: you can find much, MUCH worse said about Lucas if you go to any Star Wars/Lucas-related talkback on aintitcool.com.
