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.

This is particularly ironic coming from you, since you regularly dehumanize people who disagree with you and accuse them of grooming children. A common part of your playbook is that when people disagree with you, you dehumanize them and falsely accuse them of being pedophiles. Here's the evidence:

When people want everyone to have equal opportunity regardless of race, you falsely equate that to slavery and wish for the death of 50 million people who disagree with you. Here's the evidence:

Again, you dehumanize people who want racial equality, accusing them of trying to bring back slavery. Then you say that they should all be killed.
According to you, I'm just supposed to tolerate that you want to kill me and send me to Hell. If I don't accept that you want to kill me and send me to Hell for wanting racial equality, you accuse me of being a Nazi who wants to commit genocide.
As libertarians would say, your right to swing your fists ends where my nose begins. I don't have to tolerate the fact that you want to kill me. I am an educator, and I don't have to tolerate the fact that you attack educators like me with false accusations of child grooming. Tolerance doesn't mean accepting that you directly want to inflict harm upon those who disagree with you.
My problem with you isn't that you're from the South or that you're a conservative. My problem with you is that you're a hateful person of low character. If you don't like it, stop being hateful of others and improve your character. I'm not judging you on the basis of stereotypes. I'm judging your actions and using them to discern your character. We can have differences of opinion on a great many issues, but some things are intrinsically evil and should never be tolerated. When you're expressing your support for intrinsically evil ideas, you shouldn't expect others to tolerate it.
