    The word use is very clear: “with all due respect” means “with all the respect that is due”. If you want to express respect whether it’s due or not, you say “respectfully”. You’re the one who’s trying to enforced your personal definition over the logical ACTUAL one.

    Btw, I do not dance around anything myself. When using the expression towards someone who’s NOT worthy of any respect, I say “with all due respect, which is none”.
