Hear, hear.

Alan (and anyone else), if you think person A is speaking
disrespectfully to person B, it can be useful to take some action, but
please take care in the way you do it.  Criticizing a person's words
in this way has a tendency to hurt feelings, so we should try to be
extra kind when we say such a thing.

A good first approach is to say privately to A that per words to B
feel disrespectful to you.

I suggest rereading https://gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html
before you write them, and citing those Kind Communication Guidelines
in what you send.
