Bored, this appears a coherent argument on paper. Because we all interact in social situations, our actions, based on our beliefs/opinions, affect others. I put myself in the position of a concert-goer observing these events.
First I would back you in insisting you should take possession of the seat you paid for. Second, I'd agree that JR was behaving inconsiderately and probably relying on her status to excuse herself.
I would not agree your reaction (“die Julia”) was appropriate, in that the aggression implied is disproportionate to the offence. It wasn't just words, it was the intention and the way you said them which would've upset me. I'd also suggest that it would be inconsiderate of you to insist that your right to respond to the offence in the way you did, overrode the right of others to enjoy the concert experience in a relaxed atmosphere.
You say that others' opinions do not affect you, but Julia's opinion of you (that you are of lesser importance and can be pushed aside) played out in her actions obviously upset you.

SI, Bored has the right to behave how he thinks best. If some people think less of him because of that, its a consequence of his actions as much as the opinions others hold about how he should behave.
Morrissey has the right to behave how he thinks best. If some people think less of him because of that, its a consequence of his actions as much as the opinions others hold about how he should behave.
I get the impression that you would forgive Morrissey more readily and I wonder on what basis, since I assume (and I might be wrong) that you know Morrissey as little as you know Bored.

Was what I did trolling? To you it was. Everything that we think... it happens in our own minds. In your mind, that is what I did. My vision of what happened is quite different. I have no problem with you saying that I am a troll because it's not about me. It's about you. Your experiences in life have lead you to the the point that your interpretation of my actions are what you say they are. If you said, "Dude, that was hysterical!" that would still be about you and not me. The only thing I can do is judge my own actions. I would not take them back. This makes me immune to all opinions, good or bad.

This would be laughable if it weren't so frustrating. You're defending your right to scream for someone to die during a concert. What kind of person are you?! You're comparing this to Morrissey wishing bad things for people (which I don't personally approve of, but it's his right to say how he feels), but you're not understanding that he didn't interrupt a concert by screaming these things. That's a huge difference. If he had done that I would lose respect for him... But he would never do that.
