The proposal isn't the end of this thing. The proposal is basically ratifying the decision that was already made or altering it to fit the will of the community + investors. The individual users can still use the proposal system to plead their case and I have spoken to witnesses that are entirely for them doing that and will even help them appeal to the investors they need to get the votes to fix the problem.

All in all, there are people with fundamental ideological disagreements about what we are trying to do and rewarding them for that is not in our best interests. No one owes anyone anything, when the chain split and HIVE became it's own thing, none of us had to get anything. They could have simply said here you all start with nothing, they could have restarted mining like STEEM had done initially and repeated the premine bullshit, or anything else they wanted. This is what we got and if anyone wants to change it, well that's what the proposals are for and yes as always the people with the most invested will have the biggest impact on the decision.

It is what it is, nothing is going to make everyone happy. Personally I am for no additional blanket airdrops as these are mostly people that acted to sabotage STEEM in favor of centralization and the actions they have taken afterwards only reinforce that. Hopefully you can find peace with whatever happens, but I am totally of the mindset that not rewarding people for trying to collectively fuck us all over is the only logical decision here. If there weren't trying to do that, then tell them to make a proposal and plead their case.
