I absolutely support the size policy. Why should a person of size have rights that supercede those of an average size individual unless they have a diagnosed disability certified by a medical professional.
Having just flown on United Airlines across country with a person of size next to me each way and having to endured the person's girth completing consuming our shared arm rest plus a portion of my seating space, it was indeed uncomfortable and unsafe in my mind. What ever the reason for each of these men's obesity, or Kevin Smith's, it is a situation without a win win solution.
Maybe Southwest's response could have been crafted with less corporate speak and some greater depth of sensitivity but I think it is a fantastic airline that has excellent service, respects people's time by keeping to their schedule departures and arrivals and allows for rebooking and crediting of cancelled flights that no other airline can match.
You go for it Southwest! People of size should certainly should be allowed to fly but be politely informed upfront of the rules and then make a personal decision. Celebrities using social networks to voice their complains really is pathetic and does not engender once ounce of sympathy out of me.

Tell me all you liberal minded folks out there supporting Kevin Smith, think that he and others of size have a right to make me feel so uncomfortable?
You go for it Southwest! They certainly should be allowed to fly but be politely informed upfront that due to the additional space they require to accommodate their body size. If it's two seats, it's two seats, period, end of story!
