The key word is "respectfully." Of course there will be disagreement, but this isn't really a place for debate. It is a place of mutuality and support. If someone has a strong opinion and wants to give advice, but that "advice" is really a kind of judgement, even if partly disguised, so I don't think that is helpful and there should be a way to handle it.
