When you request an HONEST answer to a question of opinion?

and you get an answer that is not exactly what you what to hear, to you violate the person who answered, or accept it as their honest answer?

Update:

Actually I was requesting a real answer and not the BS about you have already decided the answer, which in a way does sorta give me an answer perhapes

    no, I'd never violate them. I just realize that everyone's answer is from their own experience, and everyone has a different feeling of honesty just as everyone has a different feeling about truth or love even. The fact is that you will find some people who think like you do and a some people who won't think like you so it's a 50/50 chance you will hear what you want to hear, understanding that not everyone in the world will be answering you, and that someone out there will deffinately agree with you but those who don't agree you might still be able to learn something from them anyway.

    If it's close and I can tell the person tried to answer in a clear, respectable, sincere manner, I will be OK with it. Any violation of the above will usually get the axe or simply be ignored depending on the nature of the content in the answer...

    All answers get read, the good and the ones I don't agree with. So what? Sometimes people think I'm insulting them and it's just a matter of dialectics they did not understand. So, I don't care what someone writes for an answer. Sometimes the answer has to be brutal to get the point across, just don't insult Mickey Mouse and we are OK.

    The problem with religious people is that they're so DIShonest to begin with. They live in a fantasy world of church lies which they don't even believe themselves but they feel the need to push them off onto others.

    So any answer given to some of the questions in this area are not going to be very suitable.

    I don't violate anybody Unless I have to. If it's a answer I don't like or something about the person I don't like.

    I don't ever violate anyone unless I'm seriously concerned that they might be a child molestor or something.

    I don't thumbs-down anyone who answers one of my questions, even if I don't like it. If they took the time to answer it, I let it slide if I don't agree with their answer.

    Is that a rhetorical question, seems like you already decided the answer

    Basically, by the way you stated it, you already know the answer.

    Please I never violate anyone. It is their opinion and they are entitled to it no matter how wrong they might be.
