All a lot of entitlement. If you don't fit the average mold, then you won't fit the average seating arrangement as well as someone who does. Not so hard to figure out, and the world does not owe you anything.
A reclining seat has little to know impact to leg room, it moves like an eighth of an inch back at knee height at most...sure it crowds the person behind you, to some degree, but it is a bonus when your seat is forward, it is ridiculous to think you can be entitled to that space, the guy in front has a right to recline he paid for it! Upgrade or travel some other way, it is stunning the things people find time to whine about...

If you are directing this at me, re-read what I said. The pilot behind me made the comment about discrimination. I said that I choose flights based on seat availability.
