It is not the Ethereum Foundation's responsibility to create custom hard forks to fix buggy smart contracts written by other teams. This will set a future precedent that any smart contract can be reversed given enough community outcry, destroying any notion of decentralization and true immutability.

Insisting everyone agree with you isn't right at all. Consensus requires exchange of opinion and the votes of those with the power to change things. It doesn't require universal agreement.

Ok so you just agreed it can be fixed, it's an easy fix, it's within the vision, and it's not really doing harm but actually righting a wrong, yes?

So your problem, I feel, is that you'd like to stick it to Parity.

I get that probably better than you could ever know. That said, there's a lot of good people at parity, and there's a lot of good people hurt by this situation who aren't Parity.

I'm not a dictator, we need consensus... I'm saying don't shut off the idea of being kind and fair in this situation in the face of your own outrage. It's the right thing to do, in my opinion, to correct a wrong.

Let Parity take the reputation hit on the chin... again.
