is it possible to give an OPINION w/o JUDGING?

"PROFESSOR ASKED OUR OPINION. Not only that, he also ASKED US WHAT WE FELT HE SHOULD DO. Therefore, any harsh words aimed at Professor were not unsolicited!"

I remember Professor asking for opinions and what everybody felt he should do, however I didn't catch the part where he asked for "harsh words". If that's what he was looking for than I'm sure he is very satisfied. I am curious.. is it possible to give advice w/o being judgemental? Is it possible to hear apposing views w/o devaluing them? I'm sure Professor made his decision based on ALL views. I'm sure he disagrees w/ alot I've said, but I doubt all of it. Likewise I'm sure he agrees w/ some of what others have said. My point wasn't to silence opinions opposite to mine,
I just felt that all the "self-righteousness" and "judging" comments were kind of bold. Especially if you have dirt on you (hence the examples) All sin is the same in the eyes of God...who are we to prioritize them?
I acknowledged what he did was wrong like everyone else(including himself) but I don't think my advice was judgemental. I don't think my disagreements w/ contrasting opinions were judgemental either. I see value in the opinions opposite of my own. I am confident that at least some of my opinions make sense to somebody. The choice is Professors in the end.

...and yes...I DO listen and learn
...and yes I have learned from these differences of opinion
...I did forget to shut up though
