I remember this arc, but what always interested me was reading old manuscripts to discover that the supposedly better people of olden days were just as easily offended and whiny. They just expressed it more slowly.
I was brought up on Mrs. or Mr. and last names and found it hard to call them by their given names once out of school. Also, reared (animals and crops are raised, children are reared) on calling elders Miss or Mr and their first names.

I find that the more someone complains about other people being oversensitive, the more easily offended they tend to be themselves.

Elder is relative, like an older brother. Old is an absolute term, and usually measured in at or near centuries.
