One might be "welcome" to disagree, in the sense that one won't be arrested for it, but the conclusion has already been declared final before any "conversation" begins. As explicitly stated, dissent of any kind will be considered "intolerable".

Well, again, I disagree. You're "absolutely not buying (my argument) for a second." You think my view on freedom of speach is authoritarian (perhaps). You might even tell me that my views on freedom of speech are intolerable. Fair enough. I don't think that you have infringed on my freedom of speech in any way. I'm happy to defend my position. If I can't defend it well, kudos to you. I ought to then reconsider it carefully.
