Why is there no middle ground? What the hell happened to reasonable compromise? This is the problem with our country.

Listen, I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, but if it were me I wouldn't make a habit of addressing anyone by a rank they didn't introduce themselves with first. It really puts you in an awkward spot.
And if you do commit that faux pas, I wouldn't double down on it by acting like THEY are the tool because they didn't correct YOUR mistake. But that's just me.
