Joe asked:

When ethical relativists preach tolerance aren't they suggesting that tolerance is the only ethical truth,
therefore contradicting their own edict that there are indeed no universal ethical truths?

============

Yes, well... you're not the first to point this out, believe me. But a real dyed-in-the-wool relativist will
simply say that they never claimed to be consistent; that in fact if they did, they couldn't be relativists.
And we're off again. No, this one is in my opinion a very good point but one which does not weigh
with the relativists, who are mostly, in my rather biased opinion, more concerned with adhering to
contemporary notions of "political correctness" or some such than with doing clear and consistent
philosophy.
