No, I think its OK to argue against anti-social behaviour too. Intrusive, inconsiderate behavious cos of its impact.

What we can't do is ban it. If I can't focus on my book coz of talking, I cld read it out loud to drown it out.
-
I won't coz I suspect person on other side wants to focus on own book. I'll put on white noise, change carriage or give up

Which chatting in itself isn’t, as you grant in the FB paragraph you quoted. A normal chat has nothing to do w intrusiveness.
-
Course not. Only intrusive if other people have to hear it rather than doing what they wanted to do.

@HPluckrose That can be a very subjective thing, this “what I consider to be intrusive”, and we mustn’t base even vague social norms on it. -
I'm not vague. I'm saying why I think its inconsiderate & people are arguing with me.
-
Some of those ppl even w the intention of pointing you to inconsistencies in your arguments, so you can improve them. :)
-
Mostly they just seem to think I shouldn't say its inconsiderate & urge people not to do it &retweet funny Brit stereotypes
-
I don't think it is inconsistent to argue against a behaviour whilst accepting ppls right to do it.

Its much the same as people who choose not to wash before getting on the tube. I wish they wld but they don't have to.
