So, I am thinking that... whilst some of us put little
stickers on our
badges to indicate we do not want to be taken in picture, perhaps we
need to consider also little stickers to put on our badges to indicate
that we prefer "a certain physical distance" and warn others that we may
be sensitive to closeness so they be aware it might be an issue ?
+1, this is a suggestion worth exploring (is there a feedback page
already on the wiki, where to add it?).
If you see a "fi-N" on someone's badge you may remember the advice
"Never hug, kiss or touch a Finn"
<http://www.ediplomat.com/np/cultural_etiquette/ce_fi.htm>, but not
everybody may be expected to walk around with a cultural etiquette
matrix for 200 cultures.
(At Wikimania I usually also wear Wikiquote and sister project stickers
and pins so that people are warned that, if they use language which
assumes "Wikipedia" or "English [Wikipedia]" or other discriminations
of
some projects, I will definitely take offense and object to it.)
