This phrase is usually applied sorta like a get out of jail card...a mild insult or what might be considered a mild insult might follow "wadr" It usually allows to receiving party the ability to save face in their own imagination. It also simply states...I have my opinion and here it is...you have your opinion. How much respect is implied...that is the beauty of the statement. Both the giver and recipient can decide their own levels.

I try to show the least amount of respect to all people at all times....hehe j/k
Every time i've ever used that phrase it's always followed by something that says "hey, you were wrong...here's what I have to say which is the right thing..."
and I guess that isn't all that respectful now is it? If I respected the person. I would just nod my head and smile at them instead hehe

It is totally subjective. It depends on factors such as intonation and context. The phrase "with all due respect" is actually used to acknowledge the other person's right to have an opinion, before one expresses their own opinion that is often contrary to that of the person to whom they are speaking.

The amount of respect is irrevelent. It's a polite way to say you don't want your next statement to be taken as disrepectful to another person, but that you have true facts or have a different opinion than them.

Typically, when I hear someone say that, they may as well be saying, "I think you're full of sh**!" Usually, it means they're just trying to be polite about having a difference in opinion and can't just tell you that. So with that in mind, I wouldn't think there's any respect.

It's just an expression to hopefully diffuse a tense situation either in-progress or potentially about to start. Generally means a differing opinion is about to be presented.

They usually mean no respect but are trying to say it in the nicest way.

It doesn't matter how much is due, because the person is getting it ALL.
