OK, so you seem to think it is OK to nominate a bad book with the intent to destroy the award.

Sorry, but I cannot fathom that kind of ethic or lack of ethic.

And "moral arbitrer"? I asked if you thought it was OK. Your opinion. Not anything universal. Like do you think it is OK to torture innocent children? Is your answer there also that you will not set yourself up as moral arbiter and say that it is wrong to torture innocent children. Or wrong in almost most cases.
