    By your logic, you must show respect and acceptance to libertarians or anyone who follows religious teachings if they are not trying to punch or shoot anyone. Other than that, that’s what criminal law is for, to protect everyone from execution or assassination, but rejecting people, refusing to associate certain types of people because they find certain kind of people disgusting does not equate to planning mass murder.

      Do you think one should also show acceptance of highly defamatory speech, and only punish the very people that act out on them?

        Publicly banning opinions and beliefs is the fastest way to lead to murder and physical violence. Most commonly, murdering those that have been banned for not conforming. But if you can find other areas of personal interests and enjoyment to build friendships with people who disagree with your opinions, the collective whole is not so hostile.
