I also have to recline my seat on a flight due to chronic sciatica. The reason being I need to straighten my spine as much as possible as sitting is what causes the most pain. I do NOT recline until after the meal and if someone has to pass me to move in and out I set the seat upright again. For this reason we now choose to upgrade, but not everyone can afford to do this.
Surely as long as one is considerate during meal times and on take off and landing, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The fault really lies with the airlines who insist on cramming far too many seats into too small a space.
