A website -- one which has been wrong in the past -- reported this without substantiation. It is now being bandied about the internet as though it were fact.
Who are the "they" who are trying to change things? Do "they" have any power? I may want to change the casting of Crusade. I can write memos about what I want. Ain't gonna happen. Do "they" exist at all? Did "they" actually try to change anything? Is the whole thing perhaps someone's overactive imagination working on a few tidbits of isolated information? The holobrothel mention, for example, is something a fan might have heard spoken about, but not in reference to Crusade. It might be wise to wait for confirmation from JMS.
Who are the "they" who want us to express our opinions to TNT? Do "they" have the best interests of the show at heart, or do "they" just think it would be funny to clog up the TNT site?
Until we have some facts, or some statement from Joe that he needs and wants fan support, I'd counsel caution.
