"dis" is short for "disrespect" or "insult", though in a lesser way (thus
the shortening).

As to the question itself - go with it if it's not a major thing.  In the
situation presented, there is no consequence to using blue vs. black ink.
If there is a consequence or importance, that very consequence or
importance can be used to limit the limiting belief.  Otherwise, it doesn't
seem worth wasting the brainpower to fight.
