I guess it is acceptable to be exceptable when you have an valid reason to exclude or object to someone or something.

You can except (object) that something or someone is acceptable.

It's not acceptable to be exceptable, because exceptable isn't a word ding-a-ling.

Except means but or other than.
Accept means to receive or take in

You can't be "able to other than...."
You can be "able to take in..."
