I am pretty sure you were going on about how people are empowering and legitimizing them if they don't follow your ideas. That sounds like a pretty extremist position to me.
No, tolerance and acceptance does not mean the same thing in regards to ideas. If I tolerate something, that doesn't mean I deem it as valid, it just means I acknowledge that people has certain ideas that I dislike and don't really want to do anything serious about it. However acceptance of an idea, means you see it as valid or agree with it.
I can ask the same of you, do you speak English? Tolerance and acceptance does not mean the same thing.
