People are bumped all the time. Put on your big boy pants, grow up, and suck it up.

Have you ever been bumped off a flight AFTER being seated? Have you ever seen that done to anyone else?

No, and no. But I also didn’t post the statements you’re referring to here.

Actually, the fine print is on the passenger's side in this case.

In United's Contract of carriage, they discuss the terms for a "Denied Boarding" situation (due to overbooking):

In the "Refusal of Service" section they discuss the conditions under which they can deny service and remove you from the plane. This situation isn't covered.

So, the overbooking situation needs to be handled before they allow passengers onto the plane. Once boarded, they cannot remove a passenger without cause (disorderly conduct, emergency, etc.).
