Is Warren Ellis persona non grata around these parts? Because, that's the impression I'm getting.
I think your impression is mistaken. Not everybody knows or loves him, but Warren has many, many longtime fans here.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Taken out of context, the more recent remarks came across to me as disparaging, or at least, somewhat critical.
Not wanting to dwell on him having sex with Joss isn't quite disparaging. I don't want to dwell on anyone having sex with...well, anyone, mostly.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I haven't read any of Ellis' stuff, though I did enjoy the Global Frequency pilot, so I just assume he's trying to be amusing rather than insulting.
Was it here or Jossverse (or both) that Joss and Ellis' little flamewar was linked to?

Except George Clooney can have sex in my head any time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even still, not with Joss Whedon, sorry.

Mike, Joel, whatever. It's all about Trace, people.
I just assume he's trying to be amusing rather than insulting.Well, he's British. "Amusing" and "insulting" are synonyms there.

Which isn't to say that Joss and George shouldn't have sex, if it would make them happy.
