  > If society is 99% people who refuse to associate with a holocaust denier and 1% deniers then what happens? That's a great question. In short, the 99% of people should tolerate the 1%. They don't need to choose to associate with them, but don't take action against them to silence them. > I am not a philosopher and I have no idea how to reason about situations where individual rights for individuals and groups of individuals clash. I think this quote is probably appropriate: "If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." - John Stuart Mill
