it's not about my preference if you hit me with your reclined seat

it's like saying I am making smoker less comfortable based on my own preference that I wanna breathe clean air, he is disrupting clean enviroment, you are disrupting good relations by reclining, I have no problem to not recline for person behind me, because once you do it everyone behind you have to do it to gain a little space the first person who started these selfishly took

It's not like that at all in this case the person in front of you has paid for that space you are occupying. It was never your space to begin with.

no, you buy seat with space for your legs, if someone is taking my space for legs he is taking something I paid for

they paid for space in front of their seat up to back of the seat in front of them

They paid for the space taken up when the seat reclined if your legs don't fit in that space they you need to buy another seat or pressure airlines to start better serving people of your size. It's not the person in front of you who is at fault it is everyone that has ever done a ticket search and sorted from lowest price to highest.

i am no special person, i am pretty skinny so they have low fuel expenses on me compared to some short fat people and i have no problem to travel with reasonable polite people who won't recline seat for someone much taller seeing behind them

but ok, let's stop being polite and charge people per kg of weight if we do this already with baggage, at least fat people will have motivation to stop eating, not sure what unhealthy i did that i grew tall and should handle ignorant people reclining seats

There is nothing impolite about using a space you paid for. I don't see how charging by weight would improve your situation any. You're still trying to fly in a seat that doesn't fit your body.

well hurting someone (by pushing your seat on their legs) unless it is necessary (which it is not in case of reclining, you can just sit as fine without reclining) is impolite by standards of most civilized countries

but maybe in your country causing unnecessary discomfort to other person is being polite...

Imposing on other people's space to save money is impolite to me.

You are confused about what you paid for. You can ask the flight attendant and the person who reclines is in the right.

well I can just leave there my legs and they won't recline the seat, I don't think there is some regulation about people over certain height mandatory booking higher class, so one would assume expecting someone not hurting me would be easier to communicate for airline than trying to defend such selfish person

but who knows, I don't fly with US airlines which are famous for quality of their service and maybe in US it is normal to side with person who wanna hurt others
