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.

That’s not quite correct. You’re getting at a core liberal idea, yes; but impact has to be on *rights*, not just sensibilities.

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
