The fork was on an existing chain, but the STEEM token got suppressed, HIVE got created and distributed. Some people received the new HIVE tokens in same amount as the STEEM they had. Those who didn't receive the new HIVE tokens still got their STEEM tokens that remains on the other chain, so nothing was stolen from them, they just didn't get extra tokens.
This is similar to creating a brand new chain and importing old accounts and posts without the old tokens and distributing new tokens.
real hard fork gives everyone tokens, Steem investors and users have more rights than stock market users because they have invested time and money. No one will escape their karma.
Can you get a fork from something that doesn't exist?
