Your kind is actually one of the reasons why the demotion button should be implemented.
What do you mean by "your kind"? Lucius has more than enough Merit to stand after removing all airdropped Merits.
It brings me to another thought though: what if all users without airdropped Merit get a different username? Let's say green instead of blue. That makes it a lot easier to differentiate between airdropped and earned Merit. If this gets implemented, users with airdropped Merit should get the option to remove those.
