I guess we would have to define tolerance, which it seems there are other comment threads here asking the same thing.

I'd say calling them stupid, cursing at the TV, etc would not fit many definitions of tolerance.

The full text on sci-hub has this paper's definition of tolerance as something along the lines of "even evil people still have rights".

Again, even that has huge holes in the definition, considering each side denies certain rights even exist. Hard to say you defend someone's right to an abortion/gun/etc, especially when someone's rights on those sorts of issues can vary by state.
