I’m with you. At 6 foot 2 I can’t fly with the person leaning back on my knees.
That said, society has deteriorated to the point that people can’t handle minor issues respectfully without having to be told by the government what to do.
And diverting a flight over it?
Come on! Am I the only one that thinks that response is a tad overkill?
Surely so,evoke with a cool head could bring common sense to the situation and everyone move on.
What a pitiful society this has become.

Yes, I never threw a fit over it, nor would I. Diverting a flight over that is insane. Like you said, society has become pitiful.

Don’t tall people know that there are seats available to them on the plane with the extra room?

What is pathetic is I see people here taking sides, and unless I missed it not wasting time reading every single reply, not replying with proper protocol.

Fromt person should ask rear if he minds seat being reclined. Rather than assuming it she is an island.

Barring that, when front person reclines, rear person remarks that it is bothersome and asks if front would please not recline (or less, you get the drift here). Instead of bringing a passive-aggressive device to simply prevent it.

Barring that, front simply inquires what is happening, apologizes that it might interfere, etc.

Reach a compromise, perhaps.

For all the PC garbage about “choose civility”, we majorly fail at it these days.
