Though i can see your point.
I see it this way, there was an argument on both sides ... and so now The community on Hive decides if they get tokens.
There's an argument though that these users prefer to be on a chain with @justinsunsteemit so why would they even want to go to hive?
However they can appeal to the community and if any are steempeak users we're happy to help them appeal to the community on hive.
