Well put. Actually I have yet to see ANYONE refute any of the examples
Harald made about inappropriate acts. Nothing but "I don't support this
action universally."  THAT sounds a lot like not tolerating disagreement.

Toleration of disagreement has almost nothing to do with it.  
Instead, it's more a matter of signal to noise ratio on a 
limited bandwidth channel.  If you fill up a list with 
ignorant drivel, people who don't have time to deal with 
drivel will go away, leaving the list to those who produce 
the drivel. 
That's the problem.  I've seen it happen many times.
