This, I mean.

The idea that endorsing the concept of "some people juggle geese" is the equivalent of endorsing cannibalism and racism, etc., is ridiculous.

I firmly believe that some people juggle geese, and that's okay. But I don't think it's okay that some people oppress minorities or practice stoning for witchcraft or what have you. My philosophy is that anyone who does direct harm to others isn't a very good person, and that anyone who tries to avoid causing direct harm to others is probably okay at the end of the day, regardless of whether or not that person doesn't really like other sorts of people or doesn't really support gay marriage or likes to practice autoerotic asphyxiation in the comfort of his or her own home or wishes all those damn kids would get off the goddamn lawn.

To me, being accepting means not really minding that other people believe differently than me, but it does not mean looking the other way when someone causes harm to another. They are different buckets of sand, and I don't think you can say that the only way to stop the latter is to be an uncompromising prick.

I also think that assuming all or even most people who profess a belief in tolerance are actually just being smug and lazy and hypocritical, is itself sort of smug, lazy, and hypocritical. Like Ghav said, I don't think you could find very many people who seriously claim to believe in tolerance and at the same time say that cannibalism and stoning are A-okay.
