No, but he delegated SP to them for a long time, no? That's basically the same thing as having paid for those tokens. And as Roeland says: There's a difference between denying further airdrops and benefits and withholding access to tokens he earned years ago through his support of Steemhunt.

That said, I too hope that we can work towards those two outcomes that steemhunt mentioned. I was, and still am, not in favor of the exclusion list for the Hive fork, as you can read in my comment to their psot here. I also find it petty to have people spend time trying to sabotage projects on other chains rather than focusing on making whatever chain people decide to stay vested in the best that it can be.
