Sometimes it does, yes. Especially from one perspective or another.

Sounds like you're trying to get around to saying that not only do
you acknowledge everyone has a "right" to an opinion, but that
everyone has a "right" to have that opinion respected.
I don't see it that way. I don't see anything wrong with
disagreeing with the opinions of others, or even calling them into
question. I don't mind defending my opinions, do you?
You like Space. Space sucks. Does that make you a doofus? Well,
if that's the only thing I knew about you, maybe. I know you have
more than enough coolness to make up for that little bit of
doofusness, though. <wink>
