But intolerance is the only reasonable response to some kinds of behaviour.



We may be talking about different things, then. Would you be willing to give an example of acceptable intolerance? FWIW, in my mind, when I say 'intolerance' I am specifically not including legitimate policy disagreements or opinions about behavior.


I am intolerant of rudeness, personal abuse, and bigotry. I think refusing to tolerate those behaviours is acceptable, even positively desireable.
