I am reminded of the phrase:
"A vote says more about the voter than the candidate."
An opinion says more about it's holder, than about reality.

GP mandates that I listen to your opinion, not that I give it any credibility. Credibility is not free. It is the burden of the opinion holder to give it credibility.

Everyone must make their own decisions about who's opinions to give credibility, just as I have.

True maturity is when you find a differing opinion, and you can accept it, even if it does not change yours.
Live and let live, my friend.
