Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sure. Although 'tolerance' here needs stricter defition. I would argue that the proponents of censorship are few. The victim is discourse itself, and by extent, regular imperfect people.
This is by no means a perfect definition, but I think that "tolerance is the acceptance of someone's intrinsic attributes, appearance, behaviour and utterances, without acting or speaking against the person because of those things" should be a good start.
I'm pleasantly surprised that someone caught this up - originally the argument was about freedom of speech, that's why it focuses so much on discourses.
