Then your response was a non-sequitur because the context here is that entire platforms are being blocked and the "paradox of tolerance" was put up as a justification.

My response was not a non-sequitur.

You claimed the paradox of tolerance allowed no principled way to draw the line between what should and shouldn't be censored, I quoted the principle as stated verbatim. And rather than make an argument against the paradox of tolerance as written, you decided to switch to ad hominem.

If you want to actually convince anyone of anything, you're going to need to argue against what people actually say and believe, rather than strawmen.
