[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kind of like if you were short and going to movies/shows/concerts. Rows of tall people in front of you obstructing your view. Do you think everyone should crouch way down in their seats in order to be considerate of your lack of height. That they should make themselves uncomfortable and put themselves out so that you are as comfortable as possible. Would you call them rude and get mad that they didn't slouch way down.

Different things are awkward for tall, short, thin, fat..it is the reality of life. you can't expect everyone else's world to revolve around what makes you the most comfortable.[/quote]
6'5" back again.  I don't think your movie theater analogy fits very well.  But I completely agree with your final point: "[u]you can't expect everyone else's world to revolve around what makes you the most comfortable[/u]."  And that's exactly the message I think recliners should understand.

Perhaps reclining your seat makes you more comfortable.  If you'd like to recline, please be polite enough to check behind you first, and let me know what you're about to do.  And if you recline just a little, and do it in a gentle way, we won't have any problems.  But if I'm the one behind you, you can't expect everyone else's world to revolve around what makes you most comfortable.

If you recline your seat all the way back, and particularly if you do it unexpectedly and forcefully, you are physically hurting me.  If you insist on making my flight miserable to benefit your own comfort, know that I will retaliate by making your flight miserable as well.[/quote]

And why exactly doesn't the analogy fit well? I think it is perfect, and that you ignore it in order to avoid, once more, the discomfort you lead yourself into?[/quote]
