It is better to give your enemies a taste of generosity than send your friends to prison.
Honest people made mistakes in proxying their vote on this overly complicated, obtuse and poorly understood voting system. We have an opportunity to create a very positive sentiment of Hive in innnocent people on Steem by doing the right thing: giving proxy voters a Hive airdrop.
This would make Steem look even worse, as Hive's generosity and understanding would travel very far in the minds of people. So what if your enemies dump their Hive airdropped tokens? We will buy them up. I'm voting to give the proxy voters the airdrop.
That's a reasonable attitude. However, I would go even further myself. My post explains why.
