Just me..

That is not great advice. "Standing your ground" with FA Nazi's could get you frog marched off the plane. It is a requirement that passengers carry out any lawful request of the Flight Attendants. This was intended to stop disruptive passengers from interfering with the safe operation of the airplane. It has now been re-interpreted by power crazed airline personnel to mean that children waving at airplanes and saying "bye bye plane" are disembarked, as are over weight women who are not dressed in accordance with the FA's taste, etc.

Troy.. whilst it may not be a big issue, the amount of personal space on these planes is tiny. If you are even moderately tall, you may make the decision to pay the rip off charges in order to ensure that you some leg room under the seat in front on you. You have paid for that small comfort, and it should be respected.
