Well, I'm not sure what "tactics" were used by bands like The Grateful Dead or The Eagles but I had heard how the induction board only wanted to induct certain members of those bands when they went in to the R&RHOF but they demanded that EVERY past & present member of their respective bands be inducted and then the board agreed. So I don't see why those Mac memebrs that had been inducted couldn't have just stood up in the same way those bands diid but for them to just agree with it is the same thing as saying "the rest shouldn't be inducted" IMO and I think that's a shame but it's JMHO. ...but I don't remember hearing anything about the board wanting to induct Welch (or anyone else) and Mick saying he didn't want him/them in there but I'm sure you're right and I just missed those reports but if it is in fact what I understood about it then as I say, his/their silence is just as good as saying that anyways I think.
