There's tiers.
I have no respect for an opinion that the holder doesn't understand well enough to argue since they are parroting a "common sense" belief based on premises which are easily disprovable.
I can respect an opinion I disagree with which the holder understands, but up until the point where they are willing to argue in good faith. If they are deliberately spreading info which they know to be false because it's to their advantage that others hold those beliefs, I thinknit's a major problem. If they refuse to entertain any challenge to their opinion however obvious, that is also a problem.
The opinion I disagree with which I respect the most is one that is in total good faith which causes me to question my opinion. This is how I learn.
