Not sure. But the error is in The DAO code. I don't think they should hardfork at this point, but everyone should realize it is feasible if there was broad consensus.

Even if I lose my tokens, I'd rather they not hardfork.

Guess they should have listened to you two weeks ago :)

Hopefully no one was dumb enough to put their life savings in there, but I can't imagine that's not the case for some people. Bug, no bug; theft, no theft; it's irrelevant. When any asset increases by 15 fold in 5 months or so, it's probably time to hit the pause button. Anyway ETH is still sitting at $17, which would look pretty attractive by even last week's standards.
