Obviously troubadour, this forum has not earned your respect.

There are no exceptions posted for "righteous" indignation.   

What you say here is true.

"Musket is under no obligation to "respect" homophobia and neither is anyone else."

He is under an obligation to respect the rules of this forum. Max asked him to. Max provides this forum for free. Respecting his request to follow the rules is very little to ask and the rules are wise and are for the good of everyone, including Akenaton and musket. DtG respects the rules and gets his point across. He clearly does not respect Akenaton's opinions, he does not appear to respect Akenaton, not at least when Akenaton is expressing his opinions. But he does respect the forum. So he expresses himself clearly, and without insults or rancor.

Musket has done the same in the past. There is no doubt that he can respect the forum. Hopefully over time, he will cease the insults.
