You should already know. You are not going to attempt change so the process on your end will continue and the only way anything will change is if somebody else does it, thus removing any cooperative measures.
"If someone pushes me, I push back."
This requires somebody else do the work of being respectful for you. Correction - to me, not for me. In my experience, respect is earned, not given out freely.
Now, to be clear, since day one, you have always been respectful. Even when we have disagreed on things, I've never talked down to you - because you've never done that to me. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Therefore, as I've said, I give what I get. Sorry, that's just my personality. Respect is a two way street in my town.
But to be honest, you do have a point from before in how this is not how any of us (except perhaps you) would interact with someone. I've been in plenty of heated exchanges, face to face with others that oppose my viewpoints and instead of doing something I'd regret, I walk away or diffuse the situation with something like "...look, I'm not going to change your mind, and you're not going to change mine. Let's get off this subject."
This is not exactly real life Eegore. We (as in you and I) can have respectful discourse, but I honestly don't know if that will ever extend any farther. I hope it does. We'll see.
