I find myself agreeing with Fenix here.
But my own thoughts are these:
You should be able to behave wildly in public. I would hate to see rules governing this. I find it entirely appropriate to have public sex, pda, whatever. I get irritated at some of the stuff (master slave public games) but I feel that is my problem, not theirs. Tolerance.
Nobody can control the movement or behavior of anyone else in public areas, and I hope rules for this are never enforced!
At the same time, when you are public, you have chosen to expose yourself to the public. You have should have no expectation of privacy beyond your ability to communicate in pm and the ability to filter (ignore) other players. Of course you can ask them to leave you alone, and of course they can tell you to fuck off.
Attempts at character assassination and stalking, those piss me off. And people badmouthing someone in public or seriously harassing other players will get no love from me.
What the op and Emmie seem to discussing though is not really what should be allowed, but what is polite. I personally like to be polite. Some people don't.
The only real solution to the problem is to withdraw to a private place when the public ones aren't working out for you, as has also been said.
And on a side note, yes the invasiveness of the acutions also began to piss me off. Both the constant advertizing and the attempt monopolize public areas.
