Which means that you tolerate intolerance.

as long as we can counter them by rational argument

The saying goes that you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

De-platforming is a means to show that the platform doesn't want to be associated with specific content. Being against de-platforming means you are on the side of forced speech.

I've never heard the term forced speech before, the only references I can find are legal referring to compelled testimony in court. Can you give me a reference so I can better understand you?

I'm afraid I missed that part of Open Society, my understanding is the intolerance of tolerance was making it criminal to have calls to violence, at least as I understood the book.
