Perhaps I'm being pedantic, but I don't "owe" anyone respect for that. I'd barter the pretense of respect for that if it were necessary, but apparently it isn't.
It is implicitly owed, insofar as your comments are offered with the expectation that they be treated a certain way.
I do think you often attempt to cloak weak arguments with verbosity and academic airs,...
Well... I wouldn't deny that... But in any event I do try to remain open to correction. My verbosity is a habit, not a strategy to avoid being called out, even if many people fail to see through it.
