 * That's an invalid reason and should be discounted by the closing bureaucrat per WP:GRFA - RfA specifically instructs editors to nominate themselves. Self-nomination is part of the RfA process, which was developed by community consensus.  Opposing a nominee for following the nomination process is disruptive to that process, and should be disallowed.  As RegentsPark so aptly put it, Kurt's reason is like saying "'it's ok for people to want to run for office but I will only vote for candidates who either don't want to run for office, or candidates who can cloak their desire behind a facade of disinterest.' Seems an odd sort of principle (IMHO) because, if everyone followed this principle, office bearers would either be disinterested in the office to which they are elected or, um, dishonest (in at least one way)."
