It does mean that if your opinion means you act like an idiot, I will call you an idiot. If that's intolerant, then so be it.

OK so you admit to being intolerant, glad you're onboard.
Not that I'm suggesting there's essentially anything wrong with intolerance alone. My issue is with people who claim to hate/oppose/be activists against any form of intolerance yet demonstrate intolerance in the way you allude.
Along with what was said earlier, it seem for some people that intolerance is only wrong when it fits in with their views when in actual fact I'd suggest intolerance is far more a human trait than people would admit.
