If people are opposed to Hive, then I see no problem excluding them from an airdrop - while still giving them all the same access and rights as everyone else.

I think my problems with the exclusion list is the fact that we've interpreted that single action of voting for a puppet or two as direct opposition to decentralisation. Dare I say it that not everyone who voted for those puppets support censorship. They could have voted for so many possible reasons. Maybe they were sympathetic because someone's stake got frozen, maybe they didn't like that the witnesses took that action without the community's input.

Not supporting the SF 22.2 doesn't directly mean one is against decentralisation. Voting for 5 sock puppets and 25 proper witnesses doesn't mean one is against decentralisation.

This exclusion list, just like SF 22.2, wasn't something the community had a hand in, or fully supported. Until yesterday, not one normal community member (aside the witnesses) knew what the exclusion list would look like. We can't really say the community decided in this case, because it didn't.

I hope it gets reversed.
