I'm going to continue reclining my seat as soon as cleared to do so after takeoff until requested to return it to an upright postition before landing. If the person behind me has an issue, they can politely request me to accommodate them and depending on the flight. One of us may be able to move seats or depending on the height of the person and time/length of the flight I may leave the seat up.

However, is someone is rude, entitled or aggressive when they ask. There is little to no way I will go out of my way to do anything to make them more comfortable.

Given the frequency with which it is an issue (rarely), it makes more sense to wait to be asked not to do it than to ask if I can do it every time.
