I use the word Elder as a sign of hih respect to Elder Epley. He is a humble man and I am sure he would not rebuke you for saying Steve but on the forum and in REAL LIFE to me he is Elder...
I call some people by their first name...but in the pulpit I address them however their people address them. (IN Rome do as the Romans)
I go to some places they call me Sister Alvear, Some call me Sister Janice and a few call me Janice, some Jan or Sister Jan, I went to one church and they asked Apostle Janice Alvear to come to the platform! Most people that know me well just call me missionary...not really so much as a title but a nickname...
It is true some people require you to use their titles, etc...usually these are the people that wish they really were what they require you to call them...
Elder Epley deserves our respect even though we might not agree on every jot however in my family he is respected as an Elder.
