I would feel disrespected for a few reasons. First, Dr. Bob went to school for many years and worked very hard to earn his degree. To deny that fact is disrespectful. It would be less of an issue if Lou referred to him simply as Bob, but calling him Mr. is seems like Lou is trying to make some sort of statement.
Also, I think we all have a right to be called what we want to be called. If Dr. Bob wanted to be called Mr. Bob, he would call his website Mr. Bobs Psychobabble. He prefers to be called Dr. Bob. It would be like if your name were James and a coworker insisted on calling you Jimmy. Disrespectful.In the grand scheme of things, it isnt that important. I dont need to fight Dr. Bobs battles for him. But it was getting under my skin.
Best,
EE
