"Tolerance" is such a truly misguided and inane concept. Ethics applies universally, it's just that there's stuff that's trivially true, like "nationalism is evil," and stuff that's too messy & particular to evaluate with absolute certainty, like which Star Wars film is best.
Coherence implies structure even in the absence of formalism, and structure implies logic. I actually don't know anything about modal logic, I'm stuck at first order symbolic logic plus randomly inserted stuff from Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and Calculus.

The bigger point was that ethics is not a form of logic, but its own field. We use logic to evalutate the consistency of our ethical claims, but those claims are not arbitrary. Also Tauntauns. I really like Tauntauns.

They're arbitrary in an existential sense, not in the sense they correspond to nothing or are entirely unpredictable or whatever.
