If we go back to the coffee shop example for a moment...
If you and a friend were having an in-depth conversation about something, would you take notice of a stranger listening in? Especially one who was simply listening without any indication that they might turn their attention towards your table and possibly interact with you?
Code: (Select All)/tell <t> ((hey I saw your RP, is it ok if I involve my character?))
Either way, if you are emoting nearby that you are listening to them, you should still be allowed to retain the information and not have them snap at you. Just as I, in person could totally listen even if unintentionally, into a conversation at the table next to me where Lady A is complaining about something A, and Person B is agreeing about something A. Etc.
They're allowed to completely IC focus on their conversation but it doesn't mean other people don't exist.
