Morality equates to doing the right/polite/socially friendly/community-minded thing.

No, I'm afraid you've entirely misunderstood the reason for my disagreement with the views expressed by Tommy and others. I see the attempt to restrict the freedom of people to nominate whichever books they wish as an attack on the very principles of the democratic nature of the Hugo awards. Those principles include the rights to campaign for your favoured nominations.
