Arthur Kenneth Chesterton, not Gilbert Keith Chesterton
eh, kind of a double edged sword on that one. whether a thing is to be tolerated, can never really be answered by a direct yes or no, becuase that thing might be nuaced, so saying yes or no might either kill a good thing, or allow a bad thing

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying that the things I cannot tolerate don't deserve to be tolerated?

In my view, he means that tolerance is not a universal good. Everyone has things that they will not tolerate

It depends on what is being tolerated. My apologies if my edit seems too tomato/tomatoe-y, I just think it is a closer interpretation of the quote. Good quote, BTW.

No, it says that some things should be tolerated and others not - it makes no attempt to trace subjective lines or determine what those are, that is all coming from your head.
