I asked OP the question about their comment, and not about whether principles should do this or that.

That being said I do not believe in absolutes. One example why such an absolutist approach fails is the tolerance of intolerant, which in itself makes the whole society intolerant, and fails to uphold the absolute principle of tolerance.



The logical consistency of absolute tolerance has nothing to do with personal principles in this context.
