ABSTRACT
On the spectrum of possible views about expressive tolerance, two positions mark the endpoints. The "ultraviolet," so to speak, is that everything that can be construed as expression should receive absolute legal protection. The "infrared" is that only those expressions that are true should be protected. Shortly will follow arguments that the path of true tolerance lies along a mean between these extremes. However, the extremes themselves deserve our interest for at least a moment longer, if only because of a pair of mistakes that might be made about them. Mistake one is that the "ultraviolet" position is dictated by ethical neutralism. Mistake two is that the "infrared" position is dictated by its rejection.
