Tolerance is a willingness to accept behaviour and beliefs that are different from your own, although you might not agree with or approve of them. [1] If you don't tolerate "intolerance", you are intolerant, it's as simple as that. And if you make yourself a clause to exclude some beliefs from acceptance and still deem yourself tolerant, you are a hypocrite.

  Tolerance isn't a binary state, but a sliding scale.

    Which is exactly what makes the "Paradox of Tolerance" hypocritical - you are more or less arbitrarily deciding who you can be intolerant towards.

      It's not arbitrary, and to imply otherwise is not arguing in good faith.
