Mr. Doctor:
You know what offends me? Fucking puns. I couldn't care less of how people identify themselves but I would hate to sit inbetween those two if they keep going at it. :P

That is a choice you can make.

However, not everyone is capable of making that choice; and it can come over to them that your attitude is rubbing their face in the problems they perceive - is that how you would in turn wish to be treated? It is selfish not to take the modest trouble necessary to treat people respectfully, including considering their wishes in matters which don't cause you any hardship to acknowledge.

I am sure other people here can and will be much better at responding to this, but here is my take.
By your logic, everybody can behave as much as a disrespectful dipshit as they want, because hey, the onus is on the one being disrespected to not feel offended, right? No need for you to have respect for anything or anyone's wishes then, such a copout.
If I come up to you and your wife and start hurling insults at her and disrespecting her, I assume you would not be offended then right, nor your wife, because that would give me 'power' over you?
Of course I could argue that your assessments with regards to clothing, looks, name, etc. are all subjective and therefore can and should not be used to decide how you want to address them, but it's really even simpler than that.
The simple question really is: in what way are you negatively affected by being respectful to another's wishes? The answer in this matter here is, of course, not at all. It's simply a matter of deliberately ignoring them just for the sake of ignoring them. Frankly, it looks more like trolling.
Have a nice day
chaospersonified:
Disregarding the douchehattery of previous comments...
Jeph says that it was either Claire and Tilly joyfully punning towards one another, or mutually-assured destruction.
I propose a third possibility.
What if the pair joins forces? Turn their puns into WEA-PUNS. The world might..
The world might never recover.
