Well, a couple of them at least thought they were doing the right thing and supporting the real Steem witnesses.

Perhaps. The decision is in the hands of the community now, we need to put this behind us and move forward. Can't spend eternity evaluating each case. If they really want to support Hive, they should power down their STEEM, sell it and buy Hive (while it's still cheap).

"Perhaps"

These two were mentioned in the Hive discord at the very first announcement of the "no airdrop list" - an obvious mistake on their part, an older couple - who thought they were doing the right thing - perhaps

@tarazkp I would just like to thank you for your continued efforts in support of both #farm-mom and me. Others have different opinions which they are entitled to, but without ever hearing from those who were excluded from the airdrop, it just doesn't seem to be fair.
In addition to this mess, I just recently learned that #farm-mom and I are being sued in a class-action lawsuit. I'm not sure how this transpired, but enough is enough.
Despite both of us really enjoying posting, commenting, and replying to so many wonderful people, the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives and it is time for a break.

Stay safe my friend, it has been a pleasure meeting both you and your brother @galenkp

Hey Sweed, this is bad news however you both need to think of yourselves and your well-being ahead of the blockchain of course. A break from here may be what you need to get things moving in the right direction in the real world.

All the best with your legal issues moving forward. Please keep us updated along the way if you would like, or drop in afterwards to let us know how you went.

Best regards to you and @farm-mom.

Hello my Aussie friend, things are so crazy right now that I am going away quietly.

You have been so supportive, so I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am just not cut out to deal with all this drama and stress.
We always said, when it's not fun any more, just drop out.
Well I think I am at that point, so stay healthy and be happy.
You and Faith are just such lovely people, wishing you all the best.

Hey mom (not my official one, but she's passed, so you can be my unofficial one...) Lol.

Life is difficult enough without adding pressures and stress to it needlessly so if you feel you need a break, temporary or permanent, then that is the best thing. As I said to Sweed, you have to look out for yourselves. I also agree with the not fun statement...If it is not a pleasure, has no life-value or enjoyment then it's not worth doing...Especially if it's something that can be avoided.

Thank you for your nice words and all the best moving forward. I don't know what the law suit is all about but I wish you all the best with it and more importantly that you and your family stay strong and keep it all moving forward.

Going on the link, it is listing you as one of the complainants - the person suing - not being sued. As I said, it looks like trolling.

@tarazkp I forgot to include the link to the blog that has us listed in a lawsuit.

I wouldn't take that very seriously.

I said "perhaps" because people can spin all sorts of stories to justify their bad deeds. I didn't follow much of this drama, busy with upkeeping my Hive servers. But "perhaps" a few can be truthful.

@drakos, that is easy to say and to pass judgment before even hearing what the concerns of others that were excluded from the airdrop tells me much of what kind of person you are.
You say that we can't spend eternity evaluating each case, why is that, you just want to sweep the dirt under the carpet, good luck. If this matter is not addressed and straightened, the PR nightmare will continue to fester and #hive will be Steem 2.
just one other thing before I go, your suggestion on how those of us can support hive is exactly what we were doing, powering down steem and buying hive. In addition to that farm-mom and I also invested $$$$ in order to get up and running and support hive.
People made mistakes and I guess your time is too valuable to spend it on us minnows!!
Your attitude reminds me very much of the real world, I GOT MINE F--K THE REST OF YOU SLOBS.

Well I guess you'll have kinder words when you find that I'm supporting the proposal to airdrop your ass 😁
