Like I said, it's not the HOF or writers fault MLB was slow to react.
I agree the writers are too full of themselves, though. There's definitely something distasteful about the pompous way a lot of these guys view the process.

IMHO just because MLB was slow to react that is no reason to punish the players who weren't breaking any rules at the time. Breaking the law is different but I imagine there is a significant portion of players who use illegal narcotics on a daily basis in MLB, NFL, NBA.. and I don't think that will effect them getting into the HOF.
