So, respecting you means I am obliged to accept carte blanch with respect to you invading my personal space?
I wouldn't characterize that as the nature of the interaction. I saw the intern's reaching out as a non-verbal prompt for Acosta to yield the floor which he refused to do. In another context, such as the Q & A period following a lecture, such behavior would have been considered, rude not just to the lecturer, but the rest of the audience as well.
