I don't see anything wrong with fighting intolerance with social pressures.

We're social animals, and our beahviour towards each other in part influences those behaviours. Some behaviours are socially unacceptable and society reacts in a negative fashion towards things to try and modify those behaviours.

That's why we feel ashamed for some things. That's why we have manners and all kinds of things.

So when someone comes along and voices a way of thinking that is backwards and wrong-headed to most of society, of course people are going to react negatively. narbeZ is entitled to his opinion, and everyone else is entitled to tell him what they think of his opinion.

And as others have pointed out, telling someone their opinion is foolish isn't discriminating against them, it isn't hate, and it isn't limiting their rights.

People can also have the opinion that black people should be slaves because they are less evolved, and that one should be ridiculed too.
