Depends. If you're from "outside", and you want to drop off an idea, I'll probably listen. Sure, 95-99% of the time it doesn't work, but there's an occasional interesting idea there.
But if you have an idea, and you won't shut up about it, even when I tell you the problems with it, and you keep going as if you're the one who knows how it is, when you actually don't what you're talking about... I get impatient fairly quickly in that situation. If you listen, sure, I'll explain. If you will only talk and not listen, well, we're done as soon as I can gracefully end the conversation. If you won't stop when I try, the conversation ends more abruptly and less gracefully.
