Inconsistent: you said you were arguing against overturning etiquette, when a badge wld do no such thing.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/781465403822317568 …

The etiquette in which we don't talk to strangers wld be overturned by this.

I think reason most people don't start up conversations with strangers on tube is precisely cos they think it intrusive!

With strangers *who you can’t be sure want to have a conversation*, yes. Which is exactly the point the badge addresses.

Mostly I am being facetious but I do also genuinely dislike inconsiderate noise & pressure to be sociable.

I don't go for 'made to feel' arguments but I do disagree with ppl advocating social norms I don't like.

Which is exactly my point: “I don’t like” shldn’t be a consideration in arguing (or even thinking) abt norms.

.@PeterMonnerjahn Its reasonable to say 'I don't like it when the tube is noisy &think quietness is more considerate'. Ppl can & do disagree
