Ive looked into your post and your comment history. From what i can see, your story checks out.
Unlike the top commenter on your post i do think that not understanding the situation or not paying attention to all he happenings due to your irl obligations or simple disinterest (which is fine) does excuse you from the list.
"Intent" is important word here.
I havent in any of your comments seen any support or any comment (unless you have another acount) even related to all this drama.
You get a pass from me and a 100 HP
If you run in any more folks like you point them our way.

Thanks a lot @lordbutterfly if I pass by anyone I'll gladly redirect them to this topic (though you really shouldn't have, it is fun if I'm able to award enjoyable content a bit more)
Intent is in my opinion the most important parameter as well, it's nothing but normal that people seek knowledge and possibilities in the extend of their personal interests and try to add value there. Though how people communicate, handle the situation and so is not neglectable ( Not many of us would stop to help someone with a flat tire, if that person 5 minutes prior to that flipped you off going way over the speed limit )
It's all by all such a difficult situation by the mere fact that nothing like what happened here has ever happened before in block chain's history (miners revolving, yeah, but an entire user base?!). It's hard to say whose right or wrong, and which arguments hold sense and which not at the time. I can understand that in that regard people react a bit more emotional and edgy, but that's not an excuse to throw away all human decency. It pulls away the attention of the facts that matter, making it personal or pulling attention away from the matter is just a proof that it is not about seeking the truth only about "winning" the argument and last never forget that's a human being at the other side of the screen.
So I guess that is the biggest reason why I think it's maybe not bad for the ones that got excluded to hold a bit back for now. Some that might have legitimate reasons to be included in the next airdrop might make their case harder by provoking others acting like nothing has ever happened or making content all mad about the matter.
Anyway that all being said (I'm sorry if it feels like I'm recycling the same things), not thinking about the whole matter of the exclude list and looking at everything from a distance we should all enjoy block chain history being made here. It's a super interesting case that might pave the way for a whole lot of new things to come. Whether you're for or against what happened, no one can deny the case is super interesting
Im sure we will hear all these arguments during the second airdrop so its good point out some of them.
Anyways... im sure youll receive your airdrop fine. gl. ;)
