I voted for both sides because I had no idea what was going on
Unfortunately you voted without understanding and in so doing participating in centralizing and attacking the chain. There were many posts (like mine) explaining this attack.
That said, I agree with you that this wasn't done right. Once Hive launches, I'm hoping you and others can participate in the airdrop through proposal system. The funds were removed. The code transfers them to the proposal system. That way the token holder community can decide.
