RE: Dear Hive, we need to start being more critical about Proposals.

I agree with most of what you said here. So, the action items for the rest of us:

1. Vote the Return Proposal. That is mandatory! YES, I repeat, it is mandatory.
2. Let people who is asking for your vote, convince you to vote, as if it is your own money.
3. Unless you are personally convinced that the proposal is worthy, both in terms of price and utility, DO NOT vote it.
