But intolerance to intolerance should be the last resort and not the default. You should try all the other methods of civilized discourse first.

Not having civilized discourse with people whose political goal is to wipe me and those I love from the face of the earth. Also, “civilized discourse” requires at least two parties who are capable of such a thing.

I'm all with you that you have to gauge the person you're interacting with. But if intolerance becomes the goto solution then we give up what we're fighting for. If my son shows intolerance to people of other skin color I will try civilized discourse first and not throw him out of my house at the age of 10. If he's an adult and all discourse has failed then I might show intolerance.

Children should not be held to the same standards as adults in many things. This is no exception. If that’s your argument, you’re stretching.
