Hrm, good point. I suppose that when you DO have such a clash--I think it's wrong and they think it's right--the best thing to do is to separate the person from the deed and look at it objectively first. Sometimes you can agree to disagree, especially if you find out where they're coming from is not entirely without sense.
But in most cases I find it's better to be the type of person that someone else that believes wildly different can look at and say, "hey, I guess they're not all freaks, I wonder what else we might have in common".
It's tricky. But I'd rather tend away from condemnation. Not sure if I always succeed! This was also mostly a braindump. But yeah.
