Maybe you
shouldn’t be criticizing my view because it could very well be right for me.
And maybe you should stop thinking I shouldn’t share it with others because

Lee, this is an interesting argument against moral relativism - but I doubt Dave
is arguing on behalf of moral relativisim. You have assign this belief to him,
and then proceeded to attack that belief, all the while you ignore the
discussion at hand (the issue being your continued use of offensive and
demeaning words).
I think Dave is arguing that “tolerance” does have a firm meaning. Tolerance
may be very similiar to cultural relativism. But a rationale that attacks
cultural relativism does not also redefine tolerance. Tolerance means what it
means, and Dave’s definition is accurate.
