The people refusing dialog are the one who are most intolerant. That is the intolerance that shouldn't be tolerated.

Exactly, they do not understand that when dialogue becomes forbidden, violence becomes inevitable.
Violence becomes inevitable... because people are can't call black people subhuman in public without being censured?
That's one hell of a take.

The very opposite.
Honest debate requires being open to have your mind changed.
If you believe that killing children is ethically unacceptable you cannot at the same time engage in a debate on when to kill children.
There is a reason why legal systems have a distinction between crimes that allow debate, extenuating circumstances, statutory time limits and others don't have such wiggle room.
