It is good for social cohesion and harmony! It is a matter of courtesy!

Then, there is the famous quote attributed to Voltaire: “I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.” Or a more popular version: "I disapprove, but I will defend your opinion to my death!"
