I'm sorry, Adrian,
I don't understand this at all.
How can we avoid it?
In appropriate social environments (such as corporate idea markets and
innovation forums), wouldn't we want to persuade individuals who would
otherwise be reluctant to communicate and interact?
Don't we want to persuade individuals to use appropriate etiquette and
follow social norms? (How many of us have accidentally replied-to-all
or broadcasted private messages because of poorly designed reply
functionality?)
I think, in communication and social interaction, persuasive design
techniques are highly desirable.
