Eliezer isn't suggesting that you refrain from calling fools "fools". He's suggesting you tolerate people who are otherwise non-foolish except that they don't call fools "fools".
Tolerating fools might not be a good idea. Tolerating non-fools who themselves tolerate fools is, AFAICT, a glaringly good idea. If you create an atmosphere where everyone has to hate the same people... we run into some of the failure modes of objectivism.
...I think this post might be over the meta threshold where some people lack the reflective gear and simply can't process the intended meaning! Really, I went to some lengths to spell it out here!
