He has a right to not be silent. He COULD fit in the seat with the arm rests down and buckle without and extender so any excuse you give about his comfort or the comfort of the other passengers is just that an excuse and a lame one.
To all of you posting about being glad not to sit next to someone "fat" grow up. Seriously have you all gone back to kindergarten where you feel it is ok to make fun of people just because of their size? I bet there would be far fewer bandwagon jumpers if someone was removed for their race or religion then for being overweight.

I agree with what someone else said if they assumed there was going to be a problem they should have addressed that prior to boarding. I believe Kevin had even commented on his blog that there was a man on the plane larger then he was who was not forced off the plane.
I don't care what the airline does there is nothing that can make up for the hurt and humiliation felt. He also comments that on the later flight where he had two seats a woman who was also bigger was pulled aside and advised she would have to ask him if it was ok for her to sit on the other side of his empty seat. If you ask me it sounds like this company's only intention is to embarrass passengers and I will never fly with them. All the free vouchers in the world can't make up for feeling like you are less of a person just because of your size.
