Think I should have told him to ask the flight attendent? He may have not had an E+ capable ticket (or status). That would have been kind of a jerky thing to do, but instead I suffered the cramping for the next four hours.
What would other FT'ers have done?
I would have politely informed him that the seat was blocked, which would have been entirely truthful. Given that the (huge) guy was probably not a frequent traveler--I would hope frequent travelers would know better--he would probably have shrugged and looked elsewhere.
