Nope

Now, he's a toddler with dementia.
He's a great example of why no one should be required to respect elders who don't earn it.
Respect isn't a one-way street, and needs to be earned.
For me, respect is the baseline. It's given by default unless and until given reason not to.
In the case of this individual, though, the difference between your approach and mine is infinitesimally negligible.
He's not even capable of understanding that they'll give another prize next year.
He's supposed to get it every year.
He may have good reason to fear he won't be around anymore for the next one.
Later: "Look at this horrible atrocity you made me do!"
It's like the FIFA Peace Prize meant nothing to him.
Can I get off this ride already?...
Mister Bones says "not yet."
Let's be honest: if he had won it (bear with me) it would have emboldened him to do whatever he wanted to do in the name of being a peaceful genius.
I agree
