I will listen to an opposing opinion to see how that other person ticks. Even if I don't agree with anything they say. But on the other hand if someone is going to be abrasive, derisive or vulgar those things I can do without. There is hardly any situation you can not learn from, even the jerks of the world can provide inspiration, and that is not to be like them.
