Wrote: Right now, I don't think we're dealing with individual reactions to intrusion; these can range anywhere from being angry, to not caring at all, so they don't really have that much gravity except for in specific circumstances; the argument is more geared to whether or not people are allowed to have private conversations in /say, which they are, because there's no way to actually stop them from doing so.
Inability to prevent someone from doing a thing doesn't make that thing allowed or justifiable.
One can't prevent me from peeing on the sidewalk, but in general most modern societies agree that's not permissible (and moreso than being socially unacceptable, being caught in the act may warrant arrest).
By your own words earlier, people who make such RP faux pas may not care if they get blacklisted, and so that's no punishment to them, and therefore they have no deterrent at all. Okay.
So what if a person doesn't care if they get arrested, is it okay for them to just go around peeing on sidewalks to their heart's content?Â
Or is it still not acceptable behavior, regardless of their shrug toward consequence?
