I think we have different definitions of that word, judging from what we each say.

I define it as accepting another's opinion as true, and somewhat embracing it by doing that. Tolerance I define as respecting their views, while not agreeing with them, and respecting them as a person. That way, they don't hate each other, and they can have cvilised debates. I am tolerant of your views, for example. I respect you as a person. I'm probably a little bit less respectable, which makes it harder to argue...

I made up febreeze as a euphemism for the f-bomb. Some player on a server said "f you" (as in, they literally typed in "f" and then "you"). I said in chat "Febreeze you?", and some people thought that was funny. Ever since, i've been known for "keeping the chat clean and family friendly", which is ironic, considering i have a problem with swearing.

That's the communications problem then. That's not what I'm using accept as. Accepting someone's views is understanding that they exist, that you're not going to change them, and that they hold a right to them. More or less what you're defining tolerance as.

Hm. Interesting. I should try that. XD
