The article examines limits on tolerance in academic discussion. Who decides what is safe and unsafe? What are the acceptable limits of tolerance and intolerance of strongly held (and expressed) religious, social, class, political, and cultural views? What do we do when two or more implacable belief systems collide, and when all the learned conversation has led to one stalemated result? This is the unyielding conviction that the Whole Truth resides in only one point of view, and that therefore all competing truths are lies, heresies, or apostasies that must be repudiated and expunged, regrettably by any means necessary.
