I can relate to what the article says about not liking touch except when I get to prepare for it or control it. It took me forever to 'learn' to shake hands and even hug hello or goodbye - I still think the custom is silly 99% of the time; there are not very many people I actually feel the urge to hug - but I've learned to accept it. I guess because not touching is unacceptable in our society?
I think you're absoloutely right to fight back: if they can't take a hint, we'll simply have to teach them in terms they can understand. *shrug*
