The selectors should be replaced after a set term. Limits help to avoid crap like this, where certain members get bugs up their asses about certain players for no good reason and prevent them from getting into the Hall.

No, did I say he does? All I'm saying is that having long standing members of the committee provides a continuity that a constantly changing one would not.
What is amazing about this discussion is that it sounds like PK is the only vote keeping AM out. Obviously that is not true.
