Guys not to backseat mod or anything, but I'm not sure this is worth the trouble.  I don't think Filoni happens to be a transgender, and Brennan's remakr about one happened to deal with someone on TFN getting upset because they were transvestite and the word effeminate was offensive to them.  Which is a little silly, really.

I can't compare the real context but I think you guys are on a witch hunt.  Conversely, David, your over-justification really isn't helping.

Gotta get this backseat mod bug outta me...

Thanks, dude.  The "witch hunt" and the "a little silly" comments were exactly what I was hoping for (and expecting here). 

It was as much surreal as anything else, I guess.  It really is crazy that (a) any grown-ups claim to be "offended" at harmless comments and expect others to believe them, and (b) that this is obviously being used as pretext to silence people who don't conform to other molds (in this case, ban somebody who pointed out that TPM 3D was a flop at the unofficial LFL message boards).

I guess this is just more "over-justification", though.
