I am Totally not being hypocritical.

I take an unoccupied seat when I board, consistent with WN's open seating policy.

I guess it comes down to if WN's stated Open Seating policy takes priority over an unstated, unclear, undefined "seat saving" policy.

To those of you that feel that any seat saving takes priority, we can agree to disagree and see what happens when I take an unoccupied seat you are trying to save.

Finally, I won't go out of my way to snag a saved seat. But if the only remaining aisle or window seats are trying to be saved for someone behind me, then I will choose one of those unoccupied aisle or window seats and sit in it.
