From Dictionary.com...

dis·re·spect   /ˌdɪsrɪˈspɛkt/ Show Spelled[dis-ri-spekt] Show IPA
noun
1. lack of respect; discourtesy; rudeness.


The very first meaning of disrespect is lack of respect. For example, if I said I lacked respect for the meaning of your above post, that is the same as if I disrespected your post.

You initially misquoted me employing as a verb a word I had not used and now you try to justify it by relaying a definition of that word as a noun.

As I said, in deference to anyone who knows and cares about language please do not misquote me.
