Well, de gustibus non curandum est. At least you can filter out his contributions. As for the notion that "he expects to be addressed as honorable," the only evidence I can see to draw this conclusion is from his email address, which, as Myridon so ably pointed out, was undoubtedly (I might even say undoubtably) part of the formula decreed by the federal court system's sysadmin. Most private companies have a standard email address form. I would expect it as standard for any governmental email addresses.

In Venezuela, everyone who can wash his/her face is addressed by a title. "Seņor Doctor" is anyone with a BS or BA degree. Even if all one has under the belt is a high school diploma, there is always the term "Seņor Licenciado" to make you feel important.
Luckily this is not pervasive in Latin America.
Same thing in Brazil, though not as exaggerated as your poetic license would allow. I don't know about other LA countries, but I suspect it's similar.
