People can have the very same experience and look at it two different ways.
I just don't let things bother me, however, the fact that I am human, I do get opinionated at times, please be nice and listen. Too scared to post anything that resembles a complaint, might get eaten up and spit out! This post is teetering, could go either way! LOL!

Bravo! I may not agree with someone's opinion, but I will defend their right to express it. Unfortunately some find it easier to attack someone else's opinion than it is to defend their own opinion.
Once in an English 8th grade class, my teacher (Miss B.) on a test asked us to express our opinion on a quote from a piece of literature. When I got my test back, my response was marked as incorrect. I spoke to her after class and pointed out that the question asked for my opinion on the quote and while she might not agree with it, it would be remiss of her to mark it as incorrect. She looked at me, smiled and gave me full credit for the answer. I don't remember another test question from her which included asking for an opinion.
