I think that quote only applies in casual conversations or in debates where one or both parties talk over the other, which is not the case here because that's only possible vocally. In the context of a civilized debate, those who are unwilling to hear the other out just because "it's too long" are usually the same who wouldn't have anything productive to bring to the table anyway. Only fools go into a debate expecting a few lines being exchanged at a time.
