"I would like you to show me some examples of that."

I have provided you with a few simple statements of truth to consider and to respond to. You have virtually refused until you have the confidence that what ever pulpit you imagine I bow beneath would meet with your approval.

"What I think is, that you consider any assertion of metaphysical truth that does not comport with your view of reality to be intolerant."

You think/allege/fear wrongfully.

"I also consider that when two mutually exclusive truth claims contradict one another then there is no possibility of them both being correct."

That statement seems off topic to me, maybe not to you. I, however, agree with you conditionally. The conditions are that truths may be mutually exclusive in one circumstance or context but not in another.

"This position is also bound to be attacked by those who unthinkingly "say" that "it's wrong to say that someone else is wrong".

I declare what I think to be wrong all the time. I don't intend it to be personal, I direct it at the rationale for some idea or conduct.

They criticize, criticism, they hate the "hatred" and most importantly, they will simply not tolerate intolerance.

I can not tolerate lies, brutality, or oppression of any kind and have no problem criticising such things. When someone has taken on the identity of a brutal lying tyrant, I have no problem telling them they are a lying snake bellied creep.

"I'm genuinely sorry to say that it's looking more and more like that is what's going on between you and I."

I am merely speaking my mind. I find your insistence that every thing must be veiled behind a dogmatic world view to be an interference to my goals of seeking greater understanding of the truth. I find your compulsion to continually put more nails in that club to be nearly insufferable. It is a distraction, and that is my only serious issue with you, as I have stated repeatedly.
