Ahh nothing like beating a dead horse. Buy some mining hw if you disagree with the fork. And let's see who comes out on top. Then you will have your trial by jury(consensus) as to whether it was theft or not. But this argument is just dead in the water. Like with any banking system if you find an exploit and decide to pull 60$M out and think it's ok because of a loophole your grossly naive. Those in favor of the theft need a recalibration of your moral compass!

the pity about this is thaat you think you have a moral compass becouse the masses agree with you.
but there was no investigation and be honest are you so deep into the ether code that you can tell what was wrong and right ? so do we have a independent investigation? a report ? of what has happened ? or just a wishi washi reporting on social media mostly driven by the ones to loos the most ? and the retoric gosh are you realy so blind ?
if that person is guilty then it shall be punished but not punish it befor a trail or a investigation
thats called lynchjustic
but if thats your moral well .........
Well I take it your in the camp of possession is 9/10 the law? It's obvious looking at the code and how it operated that this wasn't a usual run of the mill contract that drained the dao. There was ill intent by the person who did this. We can agree to disagree. As far as trial by jury well id say most that have a clue what's going on are the ones that voted already. Imagine trying to get some judge or jury to get up to speed lmao. Decentralized vote is the future. What's right and wrong throughout history has always been dictated by the masses am I wrong? Also I feel it should have never gotten over 100k at most for the first contract. Live and learn.
Edit. I have only 20 eth(2k) in dao. I didn't invest more than I can afford to lose. Those that did I understand could use a hard lesson in investment strategy. I went in real deep on a cloud mining site in 2014. Ended up being a ponzi. Needless to say I learned my lesson. So I can see both sides of this argument

i think we are not to far apart . i see it like you that voting and consensus will replace some courts but to do it right the blockcain needs something like a report/investigation otherwise its lynchjustic . and i disagreee not the masses did lead what is right or wrong . it was always as small elite that did and does that. lobbying and so on.
and yes the act of draining was wrong ethicaly but that person misused a lausy formed not smart contract.
the waterloo desaster comes to mind. rothshild spread the romor napoleon won and sold then everyone followed and he did buy back with strohmen. well ethicaly it was not right but it was not illegal. and he got away with it.
same situation is here with the attacker.
i guess the hf will happen. hopefully they are very careful with the code and it gets smooth
but what comes next? what if a big company wants a roll back ? a goverment?
for such rollbacks there should be a realy strong set of ethical rules for the comunity
becouse this hf is rather wild west manner then seriouse thought through decition
