It's ok to be intolerant at some things. What's not ok is to be intolerant and still claim to be tolerant. That's hypocrisy.

Also, do not equate actions and speech - and we're mostly arguing about free speech here, right?

When the only way for you to be "right" is to argue the absolutist version of the definition of a word (tolerant in this case), you've lost.

Furthermore, such black and white thinking is often a sign of mental illness.
