They made it as clear as possible on the initial launch announcement post who was and who was not going to be in the initial air drop. People are ignoring that simple fact. If they wanted to be included they knew what actions they needed to take. Also people now talking about them being excluded are missing the words Initial airdrop. They also stated that there is a ways and means to request a review of their case.

People need to understand you can not go around yelling shoot them, shoot them, they are trying to kill me, then turn around and call the person that saved their life a murderer.

There are several people that I know, like and support who were not included in the airdrop, some of them are whining, some of them are not. Some are accepting responsibility for their choices their actions, some are not. I was not happy with the actions of the witnesses first freezing the accounts that went against everything the Steem Block Chain seemed to be about, I let my feelings be known on that point.

I watched and saw the actions, would things have been different with out that initial reaction, we will never know. The writing was on the wall and things were in motion and nothing was going to stop those two trains from hitting head on. When it came time to choose, to pick a side I chose. I stood with the witnesses, even though I did not like the actions they took nor some of the follow up actions they took.

It was an ideological war, centralization, or moderately decentralization. There was no middle ground, Hive has given us a middle ground, a point of becoming a decentralized platform in the real sense.

Hive is open for those that want to come, no one is being told they are unwelcome.

It seems some accounts are more equal than others already!!

Some people have more friends than others, some people have more money than others, it has no bearing at all on how decentralized a system is. Every one can grow and then they too will be seen as some accounts are more equal than others.
