They have that right, yes. I'm arguing not to campaign for overturning the current etiquette on the tube of being quiet.

But I’m saying more than that: that it’s important to realise that small personal inconveniences must be borne in a lib society.

They are borne. Not suggesting arresting ppl for it. Making an argument that its inconsiderate.

The campaign exists cos currently there's an expectation that we don't talk to each other. I'm saying this is a good thing.

Some ppl will be inconvenienced by noise, others by an expectation not to be quiet. I think latter is better.

I think this largely coz of idea that doing what you want is fine until it impacts other people.

-
Yes, but I'm arguing against inflicting them on others who can't get away. Keep them for when everyone in earshot consents to it

inflicting? nobody is going to have a shouty conversation in front of your face.
