To recline or not to recline?

Many a battle has been fought over airline seats but I can't see the issue, the seats are designed to recline so people can recline if they wish. Naturally, you can't recline on take-off and landing for safety reasons and food service for space requirements, any other time you are free to recline your seat.

Some certain etiquette is required, do so slowly so if a person has a computer set up has a chance to move without damaging the screen. That etiquette also applies to the person behind, there is no need to carry on like a fool, get over it. What would annoy me is if a person attached those locks to a seat preventing me from reclining, this arrogance will induce a response that is sure to end in a fight.

These locks should be banned and the person charged with an offence of bringing a banned substance or item aboard a flight. If seats are designed to recline and the situation allows then a passenger is within their rights to recline, obviously take-off, landing and food service are the times a straight seat are required - all other times are open to recline.
