I'm 6'4'', do I LIKE when the person in front of me reclines? Absolutely not. Is it their right to do so? Damn right. I will recline my seat whenever I feel like it. If the recline feature wasn't meant to be used, it wouldn't be part of the seat design. I've been on plenty of intra-euro flights where the seats are not designed to recline, if that's the way airlines feel they can install those seats. As long as the seats are designed to recline, no one should have any concerns about doing so. This is more about cry baby people getting angry that everyone else on the plane isn't respecting their preferences and worrying primarily about their comfort. You would have never seen this sort of infantile crap years ago.
