If you preach tolerance, it pretty much mean you are against intolerance. If
you want to play a semantics games and call that intolerance of intolerance, I'm
sure that one could make an interesting debate of it, but generally, the

intolerance. It becomes a game to try and neutralize any opposition. On the
other hand, anything taken to an extreme can defeat its own purpose.
