Shades of grey.
The difference here is that your default response toward everything is to respect it. At least that is what you are suggesting I do. I would put to you that such respect is of little or no worth.

actually it's not black and white, but exactly as you stated, shades of grey.
While disrespect has the underlying meaning on "not respecting" you are using the three definitions quite properly. You just cannot accept the fact that the 2nd definition is still the same meaning, when in reality you are trying to state that you "disrespecting" someone is ONLY the definitoin of "regard or treat with contempt or rudeness."
That my friend is black and white, not shades of grey.
