What I see in the instance of preaching to somebody that flat out doesn't want to hear it, is that it becomes less about what the preacher wants for others, and more about what he wants for himself.

I agree with this part of your post. I just think you overstated it slightly in the previous one.
I think that proselytising to tribal natives who don't know anything about Western religion is wrong. I think that forcing people to follow your scripture, either by threats or bribery (such as with some third world aid) is very wrong. But I think that approaching an intelligent person in the first world with full control of their senses and telling them about your religion is merely annoying, nothing more.
