That depends on various factors. Such as how open and honest they are in regards to their exact beliefs, intentions and goals as well as whether or not there's a perceived greater good at play. I suppose it's worth clarifying that in such a case admiration is not equal to support and I would stand opposed to evil intent. Though I do believe it possible to have a certain degree of respect for one's rivals and enemies, potentially mutual respect at that. I suppose, ultimately, I just prefer people being open, honest and consistent.
