It really just depends on whose "side" he's on. People argued incessantly about reps who intentionally avoided flying the line by either becoming non-current through strategic drops of leave or delaying courses for months. Personally, I don't think anyone should be allowed to be a rep and not be current. However, I've argued this unsuccessfully about other reps whom I'm sure you support. One, who I am sure you support, was NFLY when he ran for LEC rep last year. No one seemed to care that he wasn't current or qualified because he was a champion of the DZ.
