No, it isn't. People should stop thinking that. Your User talk page is 
not your personal inbox where you can press 'Del' to get rid of 
something you don't like. It is a place where people can leave you 
public(!) messages, and they should stay there.

Your User page is slightly more like your "home": Here you can have a 
say in what DOESN'T go on it. However, even there you're still not free 
to put anything to offend/annoy/irritate/insult other users, hurt the 
project, or engage in anything illegal. Therefore, everyone has the 
right to remove any such things from your User page, and you can't 
really compare that with trespassing into your home.
