Yes, you were within your rights to recline your seat. I'd have told the fatso to go pound sand at the first request to reduce your recline.
Exactly. Its your right to recline, or there wouldn't be that button there in the first place.
However, IMHO reclining can be at least somewhat rude on full flights...especially depending on the size/weight of the person behind you.
As for the "fatso", there are many reasons for persons being obese. Not unlike alcoholism, sometimes the reasons are not totally within the obsee person's control.
I don't mean to suggest to others what they should do, but I personally try to be considerate. (Even when the guy in front of me couldn't give a rat's *** about MY comfort). I normally don't recline, or...on long flights...ask the person behind me if they mind if I recline slightly.
