I think the two sides are talking about different things. Parent (and its GP, etc) are talking about respecting someone as a person, and GP (and its GP, etc) are about respecting someone's technical opinion on the relevant subject. Not sure if I've interpreted them correctly, but if I have, I don't think those ideas are mutually exclusive. Now, do some people think they're just not respecting a newbie's technical opinion but come across as/are actually disrespecting the person? Quite possibly.
