People who argue that "than" must be followed by the subject pronoun "I" instead of the object pronoun "me" point out that "than" is a conjunction. Specifically, a subordinating conjunction.
Had the man said, "No one respects him more than me do," the grammar stickler's argument would be rock solid. But there was no "do." There was no verb at all. Instead, her position hinges on the idea that a verb was implied.
Yes, this can happen. In "No one respects him more than I," there is an implied verb: "do" or possibly "respect." But "than me" is different. Instead of implying a verb (than me do) it treats "than" as a preposition.
