I just want to make it clear what is going on here.
You began this thread with the assertion that "People should not have to earn other people's respect" and an implied argument to support that position.
I am asserting that your position is incorrect and that your argument does not successfully support your assertion, and I have been analyzing your argument to show where the fault lies. But, where the fault lies depends on whether or not you were using the same definition of the word "respect" throughout your argument. When answering that question, it does not matter where the definition or definitions came from - only whether or not the word is defined consistently throughout the argument.
