Well then what does subjective or objective have to with that.  Do you think all subjective experience is on the same level as the holding of an opinion?  I don't think you've thought this through.

Objective means there is a correct answer to moral questions (example: it IS immoral to rape kids, and those who think it's moral are incorrect). Subjective means there is no correct answer, it's just a matter of opinion (example: I think it's immoral to rape kids. Bob thinks it's moral to rape kids. Neither one of us is correct or incorrect).

I'm not sure I understand your question about experience though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
