Is somebody tolerant for letting other views or tastes prevail, like tolerance of bad music or political corruption? Or is somebody tolerant for engaging other views verbally, facing the possibility that one's views might be wrong, therefore tolerating the insecurity of exposure and dispute (unlike most forums and lists)? A tolerant attitude has to include, in this frame, not merely accepting other tastes' potential nonsense, but also accepting possibility of one's own bad taste, engaging such possibility by discussion and interaction without shame. I guess capacity of aesthetic judgement, what taste boils down to both "internally" and in our ability to convey such through some language, formal or not, or means of interaction, e.g. music, cooking, or making love, is graded and can always become more refined as we grow; which is why my ear is better than when I first picked up a guitar, and why it is so much worse than somebody who has played 20 years more than me. This also translates to the ability to communicate that. An overly defensive, insecure or arrogant attitude is what leads to disputes feared in the Latin quote and marks to some extent everybody being close-minded. When are we tolerant and when are we too afraid to step in when ugly stuff happens? Good point, Brent.
