"quite. but my point is, that's a conversation that has very little to do with tolerance and intolerance. "

It does. Anything that violates a person's rights will always be a form of intolerance. It's why religious arguments against abortion and gay marriage are bunk. Because those violate a person's rights. Whereas a person who has moral objections to abortion/gay marriage still has the right to practice their religion but they don't have the right to impose that religion on others.

In short, it's not intolerant to not tolerate the intolerance of others.

"tolerance doesn't make very much sense as a terminal value"

It does. But you have to consider the overall net effect. If tolerating a person's intolerance is violating someone's rights, then it's not "tolerance" because the net effect is INTOLERANT due to the violation of rights.

There are multiple factors to consider, of course, but you can't tolerate child rape and then say you're open-minded. You're not. Because the toleration of that action is intolerant towards children and thus is, overall, INTOLERANT.
