I recline if I wish. It is part of the soft product marketed by the carrier and mine to use if I wish. As a courtesy, I recline just a bit and do it slowly at first. I then recline as far as I wish to and am able.
If asked politely, I will make minor adjustments so that someone can get out of their seat or otherwise adjust.
Those who can't deal with it should either fly F/J or private charter.
