His clarification to my comment deserves more attention. His point wasn't that tolerance is worse than intolerance, but rather that tolerance isn't as good as acceptance, and that settling for tolerance rather than striving for acceptance isn't something to be as proud of as most people seem to be. That may be nitpicking on semantics, but comments here paint him as being against any kind of caring, and from what I understood after a little more interaction, that seems to be closer to the opposite of his point than the truth of it.

@NerdyPotato Thank you. I didn't frame my comment properly.

@SW-User you're welcome, and thank you for the best comment. I thought it was only fair, considering I misunderstood your main post and replies to some others at first. I knew you well enough to know it had to be more complex and you worded it much better in reply to me. Everyone else should read that for their main takeaway.

@NerdyPotato I appreciate that. I often post quickly and without due thought if I want to say something now :D
@NerdyPotato I had a feeling that he was aiming more at the fact that people should be accepting of each other - especially after 14 years of hate already... and now we have the riots and even more hate for the disabled from the new government.
