But isn't tolerance a synonym for indifference?
Of course those who make more of a career out of being tolerant make sure that they are espousing intolerant tolerance: the worst form of tyranny. Far better the tolerant intolerance of your Colonel Blimp: he might think you're a shower but he's not going to stop you proving it.
