No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

If someone steals my bike I would totally steal it back, and depending on where you live they execute murderers. I don't think it needs to be a special case.
Neither of your counter examples works. 'Stealing' your bike back isn't stealing; execution isn't murder, even if you agree with it.
The only difference between them is society is ok with one and dislikes the other. That's the whole point. If "stealing" your own bike isn't stealing, then rejecting the intolerant isn't intolerance.
No, stealing your own bike just is not stealing. It's yours. By definition, you cannot steal something that belongs to you.
That's what I said. You are trying to be confusing, but only confusing yourself.
No, the equivalent to your suggestion would be to argue that, by stealing, you waive your own property rights. Manifestly, this is not the case.
I'd be happy to continue this conversation with you if you can do so politely.
