Also in this case, if they dont vote it also means theyre okay with whatever outcome since if they disliked badly one result or wanted badly the other result, they would have voted already. And they could aswell not bother voting because they've seen the results "live" with yes leading the herd. So as you can see, there are plenty of options of why one wont vote, so you cannot simply take that inaction and go with the logic " silence is an answer too ". I mainly voted because i wanted badly not let the thief go away with milions of ether, possibly even 5 times more than he already stole because he took only ~20% of it , especially thinking about the future POS which will be implemented in early 2017. And in my opinion that would damage ethereum project more than 100 ethereum failed projects. The money losts arent even 10% as important as thief owning anywhere between 3.5% and 15% of ethereum tokens.
Forgot about this, but its an argument aswell : in a real world vote referendum, you can cancel your vote by doing whatever, voting both options, draw hitler face on the paper or whatever is crosing your mind. But here you cannot do that, so its either that, or that. If you dont vote, whatever you think in the back of your head will remain there, since you have the chance to express your option and you dont. The same for uk people who didnt vote for brexit, most likely there are more people who regret not voting because of the result. But it was their option and they ll live with it.
Conclusion : We live in an imperfect world, and we will continue to do so untill we either set the world on fire or an alien invasion will exterminate us. Untill then, we use what we have and deal with it, otherwise it would be anarchy since everyone has an opinion slightly different than the others and we would never agree about anything.
