The simple lesson here is ask me if I mind and we can come to a mutual agreement (i.e half recline etc), don't ask me and I will make you as uncomfortable as me

Agree with you 100%
At 6'4" I have more trouble than most (width is not a problem) in trying to be comfortable in seats on shorthaul. I think most large / tall people are usually aware of their size and take this into account in situations such as this. As a matter of course, I will always ask the person behind if they mind if I put my seat back and I have never had any problems.
But for the selfish and arrogant and those with no manners or consideration for others, (and there are some posters here who seems to fit this description, to be sure) who just jam their seat back onto my knees when there is absolutely zero inches between seat back and knees, then I have no intention of doing the splits just to accommodate them.
