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.

Nobody says that’s what you’re suggesting. My arg: it’s not just not inconsiderate, tolerating it is vital to a liberal society.

Tolerating, yes. That wld be not trying to ban it. Can still argue that its more considerate to be quiet in confined space.

Toleration goes further than not advocating legal consequences, I’m afraid. :)

If tolerating things requires me to pretend to think all behaviours equally considerate, I am not tolerant.

You’re implicitly equating *any* chatting with being intrusive. That cannot be helpful…

Helpful to what? I'd prefer ppl not to chat to me & to keep their own chat to a level that I can still read.

They don't have to & because I recognise this, I put on white noise or change carriage rather than ask them to.

This does not prevent me from arguing for quiet in confined spaces on Twitter. Humorously usually.
