actually both definitions are right. hence the name, paradox.
paradox does not mean 'has two definitions'. It means the ONE definition contains a contraction, i.e. 'tolerance needs to be intolerant towards intolerance in order for a tolerant society to exist' contains a contradiction.
Really can't agree that qyron is right, doesn't seem to know what the paradox of tolerance is
