But this is insufficient for the Inclusivity Police, who require compliance.

If Reimer simply chose to quietly not take part you'd have a point. A bad point, but still a point.
But this isn't a case of some quiet objector, he got up on a soapbox and spoke out against it, while trying to word it like he's not speaking out against it. Then a few hours later he doubled down with "I wouldn't support muslims either, and I have a Muslim friend"
I still don't see how calling him out for that is the "Inclusivity Police" demanding compliance.
