But do you really believe that they are going to do the additional airdrop, except for a select few? If they were willing to do it, they could have opened SPS proposal. It's been already more than 3 weeks and it has not even started. To me, it was clear sign that they wanted to earn time so that they can milk/extract steem more.

I've argued all along that the airdrop should have been withheld only from the Steemit accounts.

I wish that exclude list was made public earlier when the fork was announced and people could have been removed from the list by agreeing to a simple statement like:
"I support the right to have a fork without Steemit accounts. Steem and Hive will be separate. I will participate according to Hive founding principles."

I was also hoping it wouldn't take so long, but I guess they have other priorities. In the meantime, I think people who want it should just behave regularly and kindly on Hive. Even though there is a low chance they will get anything in my opinion. Personally I will support it for everyone who agrees to behave on Hive.

It is bizarre - and the same goes for the hive airdrop SPS process. I think that part was to mirror what hive guys suggested.

I agree both are bizarre. It was a centralized decision on Hive. Two wrongs don't make a right, but then again, what goes around comes around.

Although I've personally changed my posting style on Steem a little, my rewards have dropped accordingly. I do think milking Steem presents a problem, especially for people who left under very nasty terms--those who did more than just pick a side and continue to cause problems. I think this should have been avoided from the start.
