You're taking an authoritarian perspective. Fair, but I disagree. Tolerance is important because we as a society grow and evolve due to the discussion of ideas, simple or complex as they may be.

The paradox is that to achieve a tolerant society we must be absolutely intolerant to intolerant ideas otherwise intolerance "wins" and becomes the norm.
