will older blocks which those nodes of older version assisted in validations be affected aside being separated from the block chain?
Older blocks can not be affected. The effect will be on the new blocks of the hard forked coin.Quote
block chain?
Old blocks (the blocks mined before the hard fork) are not separated from the blockchain. We will still have the old blocks in the blockchain.
Those who agree with the hard fork and support that upgrade their software and those who don't agree with the hard fork are free to continue with the old rules and have their own chain. Blocks mined before the hard fork would be same for both groups.

Ok this means that coins mined under the new hard fork will not be different in any form from previously mined ones. So only protocols used by nodes will be changed?
