Territorial issues aside, it might be more comfortable for everyone. You could let your elbow/forearm push up against the barrier.

Because someone once asserted it on here, and some people liked it enough to repeat it. It's got no basis in fact; the armrests are a free-for-all.
As for the soragami, if it protrudes out into the seat well itself on the other side, I doubt it will be welcome. That said, the basic idea is kind of sound -- a few times when I've hit "leaners" at shoulder level, or folks who are over-assertive in taking the entire armrest, I've found a copy of the inevitable in-flight magazine handy to shove between them and me.

Doesn't solve anything ... without it two people can actually use the armrest - one front one aft - with that thing, it is pretty useless to anyone.
I'd also not tolerate a device that overlaps into my seat space.
No comments on the character of posters!
Imaging if someone asserts the opposite based on your statement...

Never had a problem. If I'm in the window or aisle I give up an arm rest. If I'm in the middle I take whatever was given to me (be it 2, 1 or 0).
Like I said, I'm not a jerk. (No comment on anybody in this thread or on this board, but asserting a standard and not being courteous in my opinion is being a jerk.)
