Tolerance

Sir, – Donald Clarke labels as "jerks" anyone who doesn't "celebrate" the flying of a rainbow flag over a Limerick Garda station ("Garda rainbow flag signals huge strides taken on gay rights", Opinion & Analysis, August 30th). So I'm a jerk. He also labels the theory of creationism as "absurd, prehistoric baloney".

His article – supposedly championing tolerance – exudes intolerance. None so blind as those who will not see. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I buy your newspaper daily. Why, I don’t know, since so much of what it contains offends me. – Yours, etc,
