Being called at home for advertising something once or twice a year, is nothing I keep my mind busy with.

Being called several times per week, seeing campaigns by the according companies to change laws on behalf of their interests and people not buying them getting discriminated and demanded to be stripped of freedoms and rights that others take for granted for themselves - that is something different.

Yes, I demand not to be approached constantly as long as I have not asked and have not invited them. I understand missionising to be an act of aggression. Even more so since it is one of its principles not to encourage questions and critical reflection, but to paralyse both and instead push a pre-fabricated message along the neurons's axons.
