Easy to explain: HIVE is a new chain maintaining a link to STEEM legacy blocks. No one is owed an airdrop in a new token. However, freezing existing tokens in an existing blockchain is a fundamental threat to the integrity of that existing blockchain.

HIVE is a new chain maintaining a link to STEEM legacy blocks. No one is owed an airdrop in a new token.

100% agree on you on this point except that HIVE is a token, it's a coin/chain. It's guilty to copy people's account/posts/activity history with no new coin compensated in Crypto World. You pay, you play.

The word "link" is very tricky to hide the theft by a collective action. If HIVE witness/community is confident enough to attract users and investors, why not start from block 1? Aggressively promoting HIVE with bots and down voting every post by people with different opinion is unacceptable for a community running on ATTENTION ECONOMY model. IMHO, it's an act of war between the 2 communities so far.

If it's war, blame Sun and Steemit Inc. The witnesses may not have handled the matter well, but Sun has been sketchy from the start, and his actions have confirmed their concerns. If he wants to operate through censorship and puppet government, guerrilla tactics are the consequence. Welcome to the internet.

Oh, and YOU still have full control over YOUR content on the new chain. Nothing has been stolen.
