Aeroplane moving - Airmanship

Just to jump on the back of Fireflybobs post about engine starting.

What about the way people move aeroplanes.

I often see planes being pushed/pulled by the propellor and often see 152s being spun around by pressing down on the tail.

Are these considered acceptable ways of moving planes and am I being overcautious.

My instructor always taught me to treat the propellor as if it is moving (ie never walk through its arc and never put your hand near it in case one of the mag earths had failed). I also read a note about cessnas being overstressed by pressing down on the tail.

What do we think?
