An opinion is one thing, everyone's opinion should be tolerated via freedom of speech. But trying to enforce your intolerance onto others should not be tolerated. For example, KKK can say whatever they want, but they aren't allowed to start up segregation again. Same with anti-gays (and yet they are getting away with separate-but-equal currently).

Therefore it's hard to vote in the poll, since "intolerance" is not defined specifically to differentiate from opinion and action.

I don't know I mean what is the point. If someone hears something racist, biggoted, or otherwise counter-productive one might as well point it out, but other then that what can one really do, say I hate X person because they hate Y group of people that just seems silly to me.

My wife is lactose intolerant, yet oddly enough, she's also a minority. Guess you just never can tell, right?
