No.

I am trying hard and, I think, managing well to be civil to someone in the face of denegration - nothing earth-shattering but how can you respect someone who shouts at you in public with some barbed comment that is a wee bit off the mark.

Well, I would respect them if they said to me - I disagree with what you say. Rather than childish jibes driven by who knows waht hidden agenda.

Civility without respect is tolerance maybe. A good Folkie trait, I submit.
