It was not inconsiderate. The FA only told him that the person behind him wanted the seat raised. In this situation I would not have raised it either. Had however the FA mentioned it was because the woman was feeding her child I would have raised it temporarily until she was finished and then reclined as I saw fit.
Recline doesn't matter that much to me. Ask me nicely and provide a valid reason why I shouldn't and I will likely accommodate your request. Should however someone act like the woman in the first post or start pushing of kicking my seat the response will be very, very different.
