How do you categorise proselytising?

Well, I'm not sure that has its own category but for our purposes here, say what you want but don't force anyone to listen to you. You can proclaim a message on a street corner but you can't make people stay and listen to it.

Cool. The reason I suggest there are shades of grey involved, is because I doubt it's clear what counts as fair game "street corner" in various contexts.

I think it has to be somewhere someone can get away from.

Yeah, agreed. I wonder if e.g. Twitter lacks a meaningful "street corner" on which folk can "proselytise" (street preaching still *feels* like expression after all). Perhaps explains some of the attention-seeking; after all where *else* is there here except someone's timeline?

I'm not sure what you mean. People should be able to say whatever they want on Twitter. Other people have the means not to listen to them.

I'm suggesting that "old fashioned life" offered opportunities for people to scratch their opinion-sharing itch, that posting from a low-follower personal Twitter account doesn't cut the mustard. And maybe that explains all the attention-hungry folk with unsophisticated opinions

How? Surely it's easier to get access to people now?

I'm doubtful it's easier for most folk to feel that they are being listened to. But maybe you're right.

You used to have to write to people if you wanted them to hear your ideas. Now you can just tweet them.
