I don't disagree with you there. Tolerance is more than not being a bigot. It's also being able to accept the presence of whoever is around you regardless of who they are unless, as I said, they're breaking the social contract by being a bigot. That means you don't do things like tell a stranger who hasn't bathed in a while that they smell because that's just rude and it's also breaking the social contract.

But the important thing is that no one should tolerate bigotry. Or any other form of intolerance. That's the paradox of tolerance in my title.

Yeah - I know you get it. It's just one of my pet peeves is all, and I was feeling the need to bitch about something online. <3

I understand. Bitch away, you have good reason to.
