Forward, was that a kind thing that you said about persisting in hanging around? How do you know that he is?
MLC is a strange thing, and to wait it out is not the same thing as hanging around - it can be but not necessarily. I suspect you would not like to be criticised for deciding not to stand. Nor would I do so.
I believe we should respect all decisions here that are taken sincerely, and not out of any kind of obvious desperation.
