    Sure. Although ‘tolerance’ here needs stricter defition. I would argue that the proponents of censorship are few. The victim is discourse itself, and by extent, regular imperfect people.

      This is by no means a perfect definition, but I think that “tolerance is the acceptance of someone’s intrinsic attributes, appearance, behaviour and utterances, without acting or speaking against the person because of those things” should be a good start.

      The victim is discourse itself

      I’m pleasantly surprised that someone caught this up - originally the argument was about freedom of speech, that’s why it focuses so much on discourses.
