Generally speaking, the person who is saying, “I would agree with you/support you/support your cause if you were nicer about it” has no intention of ever agreeing or supporting in any way. Admittedly, getting into motive is tricky, and I hate to say, “you know it when you see it,” but this is obviously going to be subject to interpretation. However, this argument often comes down not to, “I agree with you, but I think you could have phrased it better,” but, “I would agree with you if you phrased it better.” The fallacy is not objecting to wording but putting a price on agreement or support.
If what he was saying was consistant with the definition you just posted, that would be helpful. He is talking about how to convince other people, your definition talks about an unwillingness to support base cause.
What he said was "I agree with you, but if you want to convince someone who doesn't then you're going to have to present your argument to them differently." and you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot if what you're taking away from it is "I find your argument invalid in a polite fasion."
