You're not wrong and I'm not wrong. We're just different. On the court, you'd be Mr. BNR and I'd be Rich.
I've never believed in such formality and I think respect goes much deeper than what one calls another.

I never comment when someone says they get called by their first name, I couldn't care less. All the snarky remarks come when someone says they give their name as "Mr. ABCD".
Respect also comes in the form of not ridiculing someone's personal preferences.
