What I meant was that I don't think there should be any rules restricting who gets on a Net 54 ballot, and certainly no 'Net 54 Commissioner' who bans certain players for life, based on his own sense of morals or integrity. It would be up to each voter to make his own mind.
But conversely, I don't think you should tell a voter that he HAS to vote for someone if he thinks their stats alone merit inclusion. If that were the only criteria, we could feed stats into a computer and spit out a HOF.
If anyone disagrees, please say so. Or say it ain't so.
