Let's say there is a village somewhere who are not tolerant of X. Let X just be any outsiders, but it can be anything.

I can perfectly tolerate those people - as long as they do not come to my village to tell me what to do, but stay among themself.

It is called live and let live.

Nobody's arguing against your strawman.

If your intolerance is in your own tightly sealed sandbox that doesn't impact me, sure, knock yourself out.

Erm, we are talking here about virtual villages and whether intolerant people should have the right to have one. And since I am sanely tolerant, I say yes.

Even though there exist no tightly sealed boxes and everything is connected to everything in the long run - I do not want to impose my ideology on others, I can tolerate people I despise, as long as they leave me in peace. And my experience is, that they often think like that, too. Except for the fanatics with world conquering motives, sure. But planning for a coup d'etat is no longer free speech btw., but preparation of a crime.
