If 51% of the miners decide to fork, I think I will follow the majority and support the fork to get back the money from the attacker.
In other words: ETH is centralized and susceptible to corruption. 
I thought that is democracy. Like bitcoin, it has forked many times. Every new version coming out, the community decides if it wants to upgrade or not.
In Bitcoin it would take total overwhelming concensus to hard fork a change like this. And if it was soft forked in under the table presumably the value would plummet because of it?
