We don't share the same values.

Fine.

Is it too much to ask that you try, at least aloud and in my presence, to respect THAT I value certain things, even if you don't understand WHY?

Because if it's too much, then perhaps we need to rethink our interactions.

And if you've been in my home, and glanced at the bookshelves full of science fiction, fantasy, magic realism, etc., and know that Soren freelances for an SF publisher, and the first fiction I sold was a fantasy story, is it that hard to figure out that it matters to us?

But most of all, why is it so hard to refer to something you're not into in even tolerably respectful tones?
