Do we really need this type of accusation, without any factual basis?

Note that Bruce said: "I am not allowing him not to be nominated", this is
different from "I am not allowing him to be nominated".  Bruce's sentence
doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it seems he actually meant to say: "I am
not 'not allowing him to be nominated'".  A case of misplacing the not, I hope
there aren't too many of these in Ferret Bruce :)

As Bruce said, its not his decision.  I'm prepared to believe this are you?
