The paradox only exists in a society that claims to be completely tolerant. The society you're talking about doesn't claim to be completely tolerant, but it doesn't solve the paradox of a completely tolerant society. It, in fact, proves the paradox as the intolerant have taken over the system and are not tolerant of all.
I'm making no judgment on the societal system. I also dislike the intolerant. And... people who want to do back in time to have sex with their grandmother!
Yes, but I and the person you originally replied to weren't talking about an idealized society that tolerates everything and everyone. The paradox only exists when you take the idea to its extreme. It's very easy to define a system where people are tolerant, and replying with "b-b-but that's not truly tolerant" doesn't help anyone here and only serves to muddy the waters.
The comment I responded to responded to this comment.
Seemed like I could defend the paradox in a response that ignored the existence of the paradox when the OP was wishing more people could understand it. But sure, i muddied the waters.
