Tolerance(+) of intolerance(-) is(=) intolerance(-).

Tolerance(+) of tolerance(+) is(=) tolerance(+).

Also called The Paradox of Tolerance, as explained by Karl Popper (one of my favorite philosophers).

Although, as you showed, there are several ways to illustrate that it's not really a paradox. My favorite is to consider that tolerance is a social contract entered into by every participant; those who are intolerant are breaching that contact and are therefore not protected by it.
