I will always support continuous and open dialogue about the limits of free speech and the responsibilities that come with it. I will never advocate for abandoning free speech. But we must commit to its true purpose: to facilitate a diversity of ideas, mutual understanding, and the common good.

In this light, an absolutist intolerance of Nazism is not an offence against free speech. It's the only way to protect and preserve it.

@Daojoan there's an OK article "Tolerance is not a Moral Precept". Tl;dr — tolerance is a social contract rather than anything else.
