It's always better to forgive. Post a reply. Problem solved.

If the poster is a disruptive person he/she will likely show up again and get scrutiny. Everyone in the DU community supports LGBT respect.

But in the reality of cause-and-effect, enforcing language that respects LGBT people does cause LGBT respect, but a society that respects LGBT citizens is described in language that reflects that reality of LGBT respect.

And isn't the goal enlightened people, not just an artificial, enlightened language?
