<p>Seems to me that the limits of tolerance discussions intend to distinguish between actiosn and non-actions. That is, it is one thing to tolerate words when they are not accompanied by actions and another thing when the words themselves lead to specific actions that diminish freedom.</p>
<p>The relative effectiveness of a nazi group in inciting action compared to the relative ineffectiveness of a communist group in inciting action yields different levels of tolerance. Your experience was that the latter were quite effective at creating actions, but my sense is that th erecent huisotry of this country yields the opposite sense.</p>
<p>It’s like my step-father used to say about the socialists on the City Council: since they were ineffective, he wasn’t worried about them.</p>
<p>Make some sense?</p>
