It is possible to respect another's opinion and not
AGREE with it.

Just as one person is entitled to their opinion,
others are also entitled to theirs ... even if they
differ. That brings us back to the notion of
respecting others' opinions.

Therefore, holding/expressing a different one would
NOT entail the
act of "disrespecting it".

Once again, you seem to consider yourself capable of
holding opinions regarding opinions. You are being
ridiculous, like a silly clown... ha-ha!

Good, I am happy I did not disrespect you in this
message, then.

cheers,

P.S.: yes, I am trolling, as well as making a point.

I am glad you pointed it out so precisely. The spacing
between "be" and "then" perfectly expresses my point.

cheers,
