Would I recommenced calling out the use of ###### by saying ‘stop with the ######’? Of course not. But to act like Peters was calling this guy a ######, when in fact Peters was calling out the gratuitous use of the word ###### isn’t fair to me. The two are ENTIRELY different things, and not just semantically.

If Peters found the use of ‘that word’ offensive, or likely much of the other material in the music, he could have chosen other words, yes. But in this case, he chose to use the very same language, to make his point.
Except that it would make the opposite of his point... that's why this narrative makes no sense (and therefore seems highly unlikely).

Yes, I think a number of people do think that.

So you have gained respect for Bill Peters as a result of this incident?

If so, and it was references to homosexuality that Peters (or "Bill") found offensive, can you please explain again why Bill would refer to it as n##### music? I'm lost.
