Tolerance Is Not A Moral Precept.
This is a thorough once-over giving the lie to the "conservatives'" self-serving bullshit squealing that "Butbutbutbutbut if you don't tolerate my intolerance you're a hypocrite!" The short version, as put forth in the article, is this: tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact.
Put another way, it's social technology, just like laws. It allows us, in an ever-more-connected global society, to exist and function. Like a treaty it covers those, and only those, who are party to it.
This means that if you're a genocidal fucking psychopath then no, Virginia, we do not have to "tolerate" your unhinged ramblings. You are cancer in the body politic. You have gleefully ripped your human card to shreds and dropped the pieces in an incinerator, cackling like a hyena on PCP at how you have "owned the libs." You have placed yourselves outside the treaty. We are not obligated to put up with your shit.
tl;dr: if you can't behave like a civilized human being, don't be surprised when you get treated like a rabid animal. Read and be better, or don't, it's your choice, but don't bitch when you get your find-outs.

He who tolerates Evil becomes a part of it.
Do you think there are separate or common hells for liberals and conservatives?

Obvious answer: they own and control the pussies. And yes, sadly, men do care.

It's not so much how much he knows about the world that disturbs me but which parts of the world he seems to be so intimately acquainted with. Just sayin'.

The question is malformed on the face of it. Hell is more state of being than a concrete place. In one sense, there is a separate Hell for every single person in it. In another sense, there is only one Hell, as anywhere can be Hell. Given your post history, if that is an accurate representation of your state of mind and your age, you will be finding out rather soon.

It's the same Hell. The constant political bickering is what makes it Hell.

The answer is obvious, "separate, but equal". Okay, that joke just made itself.
