RE: CryptoRESPECT. All of us need to stop trying to drown each other in public. We're hurting ourselves here!

I like the general spirit of what you're trying to do here, but I think the devil is in the details. It's all about how we relate to one another. Unfortunately most geek types, especially young ones, lack people skills and come across as arrogant and autocratic. Again, I'm speaking in generalities.

Take your first futuristic sentence which starts out:

In lieu of your recent myth about [xyz]...

The tone of that sounds rather judgemental, using the "myth" adjective. Wouldn't a better approach be to open a dialog by asking why they said [zyx] about [xyz] or to ask for evidence of their (mythical) claim? Model the behavior you wish to see by doing it.

I'm not expert on the subject but perhaps this respect effort of yours might benefit from NVC techniques.

Also I have a concern that if not done well this campaign might stifle important criticisms. Negative feedback isn't necessarily bad, it in fact can provide essential information required to make improvements. How effective that is depends not only on the manor the info is delivered but also on the open mindedness and maturity of the receiver to really hear it and not just react to it on an emotional level.

I respect your efforts to encourage people to behave more respectfully to each other, but let's not turn into a body of "politically correct" nerds that are afraid to speak their minds or unwilling to "manifest truth into existence" as steemit user krnel has said. A focus on truth and the application of empathy would go a long way towards improving this issue.
