It’s an intriguing topic and I’m sure everyone has wrestled with this timeless issue at one point or another.

Personally, I think that if you have to let one go in a crowded area, it’s acceptable if the people around you can easily leave if the experience becomes too overwhelming. Elevators are prime examples of venues where it’s just completely unacceptable since bystanders are trapped and forced to smell your body’s foulest offering. Plus, you’re never on an elevator for long, so it’s not asking much of someone to just hold it until you reach your floor.

Bus’s generally have ventilation or a/c, BUT the riders are still captive, so my ruling here is that crowded bus’s should be off-limits unless it’s an emergency.

I am glad you guys doing great :o)
