Hey, @dizzyjay.
I was troubled at the additional accounts, too. I certainly can't speak for those behind the fork, but I would hope there's a difference between disagreeing with what was done and openly supporting Sun or voting on sock puppet witnesses. I've personally been hoping for a resolution this whole time, but I wouldn't consider that supporting Sun as much as wanting the best for STEEM—but now unless a last minute save can be made (no small feat, and I'm sure the fork will happen regardless—too much distrust for too many people it seems), it looks like a big chunk of the community is headed to HIVE.
