yes, many times, because i believe that even if you do not like a person ,it does not make him/ her less right.
the issue in this matter is that will you let what you feel, your personal issues get in the way of doing what's right.
who knows, it may cause that person to change his/ her attitude towards you, it has happen to me many times.
God bless,

It is better to not get involved with person's of whom a history of conflict or disputes has been apparent, for anything you say regarding that person will be of question (i.e. false, lie) because of motivating factors to lie. Furthermore, when advocating for someone who knows of these feelings, if you state something negative about them whether true or albeit false, that person will no doubt release their self from having you advocating for them, thus making your time & effort worthless. However, besides all of this, your statement & testimony can be biased, influenced, and not as up to health as it would be if a stranger or friend were advocating for you. I don't advise it, but I probably would if called upon.

Yes, a strange experience for me, because about 90% of the time we disagreed on things, but on this one occasion, I found myself agreeing with and sticking up for him. The other folks in the room (who knew our history well) were some surprised, too. The funny thing is that after that experience I had to listen to what he said a little more carefully and ended up agreeing with him more often than before. I think it made me break a bad habit of just discounting everything he hadd to say.

Yup. Thats usually reason enough. Right is right, regardless of how I feel about the person. Heidigger is frequantly subjected to personal attacks (its amazing what being a member of the Nazi party wil do for your reputation.......), but that doesn't mean all his philosophical works were necessarily wrong. Even an idiot can stumble upon truth. Though to paraphrase Churchill, they usually pick themselves up and carry on...

I don't have to like someone in order to do the right thing. My peace of mind is more important than my ego.

Hi Coco Puff. What you ask is the very meaning of "I would fight to the death for my enemy's right to speak."

Maybe, but who cares?
