It's better to communicate than to suffer in silence.
If an individual chooses to publicly express an odious idea, it is not being intolerant to disagree, and to disagree publicly. If one's method of delivery is to yell down everyone who disagrees, it's not being intolerant to point out the rudeness of such conduct. We're not likely to find common ground yelling at each other, but we're not likely to find any common ground listening to a monologue either. Disagreement is a healthy form of communication.
