    Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you’re discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that’s a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it’s subjective. If it’s an opinion on something objective, then there’s an actual burden of “proof” and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.

    There aren’t many reasons to “properly” respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong (“interpretation” only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I’m skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.

        But is it all chocolate, or just certain types? Would you feel the same biting into Godiva datk as you would 100% cacao? We demand answers!

        ‘I like chocolate’ is not an opinion, it is a preference. Thats not what the person above you was talking about.
