I don't do anything intentional if someone reclines back. But at 6'3 with bad knees, I have no choice but pull the back of the seat in front of me if I have to get up or push the back of the chair in front if it is too close to me. It is not a big deal for flights 3 hours or less though I always am searching for an exit no matter what. Anything more than that, I either pay for an upgrade or try to fly during an off hour that will allow me to fly on a non capacity flight.
The guy from the article was an immature asshole and he knew he was being an immature asshole. I believe he selected his victim appropriately. With another person on the wrong day, there would have been an emergency landing for that flight.

And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
