I'm confused now. My first impression was thinking that statement reaked of arrogance and grandiosity, but now I can see it was ME who was in the wrong. I'll be sure to do whatever is necessary to make sure you feel as "safe" as possible, should we ever be on the same flight and cabin. The rest of you should follow suit and make sure to cater to the paranoid and delusional fears of a small percentage of the frequent flier community. May I suggest some anti-anxiety meds? I've known a few people with similar issues and medication worked wonders.
Just to be blunt: If you're so scared and/or offended by the behavior of others then don't fly. The real selfishness is expecting others around you to change their behaviors for YOUR comfort. Sheesh, I'd hate to be your neighbor. You sound like the type who would call the cops every time someone has company or the stereo is barely audible.
