People are people.  My criterion for respecting them is that they know 
more than me about something that interests me.  As I am profoundly 
curious, I have only ever found one person whom I did not respect.

My criterion for dancing around them is more complex.  I go after those 
who treat those they see as underlings impolitely or without careful 
consideration, those who are pretentious and bores.  These three sets 
overlap to a considerable degree.

You pass criterion 1, but not criterion 2.  You are quite safe.
