I have a personal rule that I don't silence people because I disagree with them. I only silence people that take away from my overall enjoyment of that thing, by their actions.
If I expect them to see and respect my opinion on things, especially since they disagree, I should do them the same courtesy of acknowledging your opinion. Hearing your opinion, which may very well reinforce my own in the counterpoint. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. Where only the things I agree with I hear about, and have the opportunity to discuss if I choose. By removing the voices saying things I don't like, I think I'm doing a disservice to my own beliefs because they are never challenged, if that makes any sense.
