lmao are you serious? HahahahYour response was to excuse people whom abuse the ability to do a *thing* at the expense of other's well being just because they can. I didn't think that nightmare logic warranted a reply.

You said that AFTER you repeatedly supported his actions, it's all up there in plain text so who are you performing for now?apparently it's opposites day and "i'm not saying that his retaliation was right" means something else.
No, it's pretty different. I don't condone violent protest in the vast majority of situations but I can still emphasize and agree with the driving message.I knew you'd try to spin this.... them saying they understand is very much supporting his behaviour.
And you can go further back and read if you like. It's not hard.
The ADULT thing to do would have been to ask the person to raise the seatback, but no dude goes straight to hitting her headrest!? what a fucking child.
No it's only "pretty different" if you want to try to spin it with semantics.No, it's pretty different. I don't condone violent protest in the vast majority of situations but I can still emphasize and agree with the driving message.
we don't know if he asked her. I've politely asked the person in front of me crushing my knees if they could not-and they just ignored me and didn't move.
might as well claim that EVERYONE who said both sides was "supporting his behavior" while you're at it.I knew you'd try to spin this.... them saying they understand is very much supporting his behaviour.

"They're both wrong but let me just dump on her"The fact that this is a debate makes it pretty easy to King Solomon this situation: They're both wrong. The lady who reclined is the instigator, though, and her stubbornness to straighten her seat -- knowing full-well it was causing another person misery -- exasperated the issue.
I have no idea what you're trying to do when your posts supporting his actions are there for everyone to see.might as well claim that EVERYONE who said both sides was "supporting his behavior" while you're at it.
Right.Doesn't take much for the facade to drop these days but didn't think reclining seats would be the "b.. but both sides!" point when it came to being physically aggressive toward women.
What misery was she causing? Dude was clearly not inconvenienced as he still had plenty of space to line up his punches.The fact that this is a debate makes it pretty easy to King Solomon this situation: They're both wrong.

They are, that's why the physical aggression being an escalation matters. If someone does something rude to you, you don't get to do something back to them without being deemed immature, and you don't get to escalate a situation to physical violence without being deemed an unstable man baby fuck. If you're implying that she deserved it you're supporting his behavior.might as well claim that EVERYONE who said both sides was "supporting his behavior" while you're at it.
I didn't say he was "in the right." I said I understand the reaction. I've wanted to retaliate against people reclining countless times. Like I said in my post though, I would never have the audacity to actually do it though.
Saying you understand the reaction is lending it support.I didn't say he was "in the right." I said I understand the reaction. I've wanted to retaliate against people reclining countless times. Like I said in my post though, I would never have the audacity to actually do it though.
Bingo.
Escalation just makes the escalator culpable too. It doesn't absolve the original offender.They are, that's why the physical aggression being an escalation matters.
This. Also blame the airlines for constantly taking away what little space passengers already have by shoving in seats so tightly packed.Im pretty tall. Getting mad at people for trying to get comfortable in ways they are designed to get comfortable is dumb as fuck.
It only took you 11 pages to come to this conclusion that most of us accepted from the start?
nah, all i see is you saying that me stating X means i really mean Z and not X.You said that AFTER you repeatedly supported his actions, it's all up there in plain text so who are you performing for now?
Reclining is nowhere near the level of physical harassment, which this absolutely is.Escalation just makes the escalator culpable. It doesn't absolve the original offender.
lol...nah, all i see is you saying that me stating X means i really mean Z and not X.
is it really HIS behavior that's the main issue though?
#JusticeForTheReclinedOn
At 6'8" I'm crushed no matter what and somebody reclining on me doesn't make a substantial difference to my discomfort and pain. A lot of times they can't recline anyway since there's just no space. Really exit row or bust for me. Take some ibuprofen and deal. I also never recline because it doesn't make a difference.
And yet, here you are, continually supporting those who say they understand the fact he became physically and harassed a woman.It only took you 11 pages to come to this conclusion that most of us accepted from the start?
No, it really is not. You're making a leap that is not rational at all so for your own sake, you should correct this way of thinking. Understanding an action does not mean supporting it. No one in their right mind would equate the two things.I knew you'd try to spin this.... them saying they understand is very much supporting his behaviour.
We know and you're right. Are you finally ready to move past it and discuss the larger issue instead?Reclining is nowhere near the level of physical harassment, which this absolutely is.
Yes, it absolutely is.No, it really is not. You're making a leap that is not rational at all so for your own sake, you should correct this way of thinking. Understanding an action does not mean supporting it. No one in their right mind would equate the two things.
I can understand why someone say cuts in line or why they steal from a store or any other number of things. That doesn't mean I support it.
We know and you're right. Are you ready to move past it and the discuss the larger issue instead?
lol indeed.
What?
We know and you're right. Are you finally ready to move past it and discuss the larger issue instead?
No, the reason issue is the guy shaking her seat.Pro-recliners in this thread are conveniently side stepping the real issue here by harping on the guy going over the line, despite most of the anti-recliners here pointing out that the guy was over the line as well.
Man physically harasses woman.
