This, of course, is not the objection. It is not "tolerance" that is in question, but effectiveness of ministry (not to mention rudeness). I personally believe that for everyone "brought to the Lord" via some form of the Screaming Ministry, there are dozens who effected in the very opposite way. I suppose that is why we see almost no street ministry out here on the left coast. Intervention ministries, benevolent ministries, home church programs, youth and campus ministries seem to be the things that work best and turn the lest number of people off.

Hmmm. Is there a problem with tolerance here? You don't have a right to quietness when you are outside your "place of worship" (place of worship? -- another topic that needs addressing at another time). When you are inside your "place of worship" then you have a right to quietness. Those who want quietness in public places do not really believe in free speech.
