Just the other day, I read a post which explained rather concisely how claiming that someone is intolerant of your intolerance is 'circular reasoning.' Can anybody pop up and give me back that piece of the puzzle so I can use it as needed? I would be greatly appreciative.

That issue arose in the thread about bigotry. Someone argued that because he was intolerant of many things (particularly homosexuality) he had been called bigoted, but that because someone else was intolerant of his intolerance they must be bigoted too. That's circular reasoning and fallacious because it presupposes that intolerance and bigotry are synonymous. They're not, and that wasn't the logic being used to label him a bigot.
See? Easy eh?
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Thanks! That's the thread I was thinking of, and upon further examination, Disney Dude was the one who pointed it out.
Interesting quotes on the subject matter.
Tolerance - Wikiquote
You are just as wrong as he was. Bigotry is the intolerance of those who do not agree with you. It does not matter what yours or their beliefs are.
No, it's not. There's a whole thread proving otherwise.
I just gave you the definition. A whole thread of people saying the sky is green means squat. If you want to be taken seriously, then learn to use a dictionary.
I see you learned the semantics schtick from DavidT. We did that whole dictionary thing in the other thread. I'm not going to reprise it here.
I gave you a definition that supports my position. You have offered nothing. I understand you not wanting to reprise your wrongness. :2wave:
Trolls love to troll.

Kindly stop trolling my thread. I had a question, it was answered. You don't like the answer? Not my problem. I'm not going to back your cray-cray.
The entire homophobe premise is based upon circular reasoning. Homosexuality is icky poo because people say it is icky poo and since people say it icky poo, it must be icky poo. It is really quite the moronic piece of sophistry, yet the morons who offer it actually think they are on to something.
-------------Pot meet the kettle..
Hypocritical...
Unbelievable....
A circle means what in your terms? a point..
in my terms a circle has no end and no beginning,,, in that sense pi has reasoning hence you subscribe to madness which equals anarchy.....
Fun with geometry and asserting such as logic.
All because of a simple idea known as pi.....
It's not that it is icky poo, it makes icky poo.
As much as I disagree with you on the homosexuality premise, that was kind of funny :lamo
