Buy yourself some 'knee savers'. My 6' frame is such that if Im behind you, you're already not going to be moving your chair back much, if at all, before my knees are in your way. For $20 now some jack hole is slamming his chair into some plastic clips instead of my knees.

The end result is the same either way for the person in front me, so I feel no guilt in using them. I also make a point to never recline my own chair.

I don't even bother with the knee savers. I just use my knees.

I'm tall enough that in coach my knees make full contact with the seat in front. I just keep them that way for the first half of the flight, and the person in front of me assumes the seat recline is broken.

And if they manage to recline anyway, I make sure to hold my food or drink or reading material directly above their head while I eat, since they're pretty much in my lap anyway.
