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.
In your opinion (and clearly many others).

Not to doubt the OP but we're not hearing the other side of the story. I'm going by the OP's statement that the FA (or arbiter in this case) asked the OP to raise his seat, meaning the FA deemed the woman's request appropriate (rightly or wrongly).

Aren't we supposed to obey the FA?
