If someone thinks that "Tolerance" is a virtue, why don't he tolerate those who are intolerant? instead of joining them?
Isn't this the height of hypocrisy?

Anyone who values tolerance must respect the right of another to hold intolerant views. However, when that person's intolerant views infringe upon another's rights or harm another person, that's where the intolerant person's rights end. Anyone has the right to think the way they choose, no matter how unenlightened I may find it. I, however, also have the right to debate with him or her.

Yes. And no, paradoxes are never inevitable. Intolerance of people are intolerant of some things (like me), shows them to be hypocrites.
I don't tolerate genocide, rape, murder, incest, active homosexuality, or abortion. But watch those who think I should be tolerant give me thumbs-down.

No, it is called a paradox. They are inevitable in some circumstances...
