Well, it depends. With the "roof breakup" stuff I have no problem, because there's little editorializing and no involvement, just a running report of those statements of which these two people have decided they absolutely must unburden themselves in public. But the stuff on the plane is a whole different matter. Granted, the lady in 7-whatever wasn't behaving particularly well, and she should probably have known better. I've seen people behave similarly when I've flown around holidays, and especially when travel is delayed or interrupted by circumstances beyond anyone's control. But "Elan"'s behavior was even worse. "Eat my dick?" Honestly? This isn't a case of someone answering poor public behavior with class; this is a case of someone behaving childishly within earshot of someone who is far more childish still, who giggles in joy at the opportunity to misbehave in an utterly crass fashion with some confidence that he'll receive kudos for it from his Twitter followers, on whose qualities I shall not here speculate. I mean, really. I was with him up until the glass of wine; I thought "Good choice! Sending a gift shows consideration, and no doubt the note sent with it will explain that he's sorry she's having a bad time, but that they're all in the same notional boat, and perhaps the accompanying gift will help her relax and roll with the punches." Then I read the note. By the time I got to the end of the travesty he perpetrated for his adoring Twitter public, I was glad she slapped him; I hope she made it a good one. "Spare the rod and spoil the child," after all, and it's quite plain from his own Twitter feed that this infant escaped preschool far too soon.
