Air dropping to bad actors will get more bad actions from those bad actors, the very actions we forked to get away from
It wasn't an airdrop. It's a split fork. Therefore, no one is "giving" anyone anything.
Nobody is entitled to be part of any given community, these people were not invited into our "village" because they are anti our village
Wasn't a blockchain protocol supposed to be censorship free? Excluding those that only voted (no matter their personal reasons) is a kind of censorship, because you are removing their access because your disagree with their opinion.
Therefore, this move goes against a basic blockchain philosophical fundament.
(Steemit Inc. stake should be removed because it was was caused the attack.)
Nobody is entitled to the work of others(all the work HF involved/planning/etc), I am thankful I was air dropped Hivepower so I have resources to perform actions on this chain
I don't think this have anything related to anyone's hardwork...
It's about fundamental principles.
The moment you deny other people access to a blockchain because you don't agree with their opinion and because they "could" (a big could) attack the blockchain, isn't the real problem on the blockchain code?
People who are anti-hive/troublemakers would dump coins causing price instability for the medium term which would make us look less credible(BTC is worth more, must be the REAL BITCOIN! ;0)
So, the price is more important than the integrity and reliability of the blockchain?
Sure, price can affect the short-term view of a blockchain, but aren't we supposed to be in this for the long-term?
Those who think they should get the air drop from what I understand can submit a proposal to ask for those coins, but they are not entitled to them
Wich put the decisionat the hands of very few people (those with the bigger stakes). What if they don't like the color of that person hair? Is it fair?
A great example of how bad this was is the case of @steemchiller. He created one of the best Steem wallet/explorer, and he was excluded from hive because half of his votes were to Justin Sun because he wanted to stand neutral expecting things to work out between both parties.
Now, imagine how many potential developers/content creators/community leaders hive lost because of this "petty revenge" decision.
