AAQ, we cannot show respect with what we don’t have. In English this is the way of respect. If everything is shown in capital letters or small letters, no respect is shown.
When I wrote a teshuva for multiple people separately, I used the RMA’s title designation:
שו”ת הרמ”א סימן א
לקדם רבותינו שבבריסק, כל אחד יתברך ויתרומם לפי מעלת מדרגתו, שלום
I am European where respect was shown and not like in America were everyone is called by there first name or by ‘you’. We as children in Hungary greeted the elderly with kezit csokolom, I kiss your hand.
Calling myself Reb Eliezer is a lesson for all and having great rebbies as the Mattisdorfer Rav ztz’l, father and son, I consider myself a talmid (mei) chacham. Standing up for the elderly (in a bus) is something from the past or opening a door for someone. When there is no respect for the elderly, it is time for Meshiach.
