You say this as if he is nominated on a technicality. What he did, or didn't do, is pretty cut and dry based on the rules, and you, being a dealer/member who's opinion people respect, continually saying you don't care dilutes the integrity of the marketplace. If a "respected" member doesn't care about people breaking the rules, why should I, or why should I follow them in the first place?
Are not you also adding to the "unnecessary discussion" but coming in here to defend your friend based on a personal relationship versus the matter at hand?
You have already quite clearly told us your personal views on this multiple times. In fact, in that first quote up there you say you "personally wouldn't [add him] nor ... think [it] appropriate."
This is the topic for a discussion on his nomination; if you don't like people discussing the nomination, I don't know what to tell you.
