I'm pretty sure respect and common loving sense of not harassing his family are two different things.
Sure, I dislike some people. That doesn't mean I go to their parent's houses and threaten to burn them
at the stake for giving the world that demon spawn, do I?
No matter how many times he's been a prick, if he is asking you guys to not insult and bother his loved ones,
(maybe because they're loving INNOCENT), then you guys probably shouldn't loving do that.
