It seems that you missed the point behind this statement: You can disagree but, indeed, that can only happen after you've heard me out.
The argument being made in TFA (and by John Stuart Mill) is that an opinion can only be rationally disagreed with after its been heard and understood. I'm all for an argument against that point but you should consider how much you're talking around that point rather than to it.
You can think the way you do all you want but you're misunderstanding if you think John Stuart Mill's argument is anything other than that it is irrational to do so.
