um , in webster's dictionary, it has it used as a noun and a verb tense showing that it can have the endings -ed, -ing, -s... disrepect is a noun and a verb.

now far be it from me to correct you on something. my eyesight may be off and i didnt read it correctly. if 'respect' is a verb then it must have an opposite, 'disrespect'

i.e. 'i didnt appreciate the way you disrespected me'
it could also be said as ' i didnt appreciate the way you treated me with disrespect' personally, i think it sounds more educated (for lack of a better word) when it is used as a noun. but it is indeed a verb as well.
