Anyone who believes that reclining your seat into the person behind you doesn't alter their comfort is completely out to lunch. Exponentially more so with laptops, meals, and viewing angles. I have never had the need to recline and I likely never will.

I doubt many, if any, people in here are saying they recline just because it's their right like some a-hole. Hope I don't come across like that at least. This isn't the gun control debate in the states.
I recline when I'm trying to sleep because it's a heck of a lot more comfortable, being slightly more prone helps a lot with easing back pain from being jammed into a plane, and it's the only way I'm actually able to fall asleep. That it is my right is what makes me ok with choosing to do so for the above reasons.
Of course I think it alters the comfort of the person behind me. To say otherwise is naïve. However I think that decreased comfort is overstated and vastly less than the additional comfort I gain.
