More to the point: when it does you no harm to address someone in the manner they would like, and it does them some good, then why not do so?

It's debatable that this causes no harm. Plenty of examples in recent years that it does.

  • Those examples being? (I'm not in the States, so maybe I don't have your "common knowledge")

    • (this may be related to my obs that the high left can only romanticise^W glamourise^W aestheticise^W "semi-stabilise" the injustice ("a thing to a people") giving the low ample room to troll them -- & get the mid to switch

      (In the other direction, it was easy for Bob to troll Ayn and get VC wannabes to take a course on^W^W^W^W melt their own alloys?))

      (That was before "Human-VLLM" was even in the air so this could well be another "a thing to a people")
