I'm not against short selling at all but I think that a person should be able to designate the shares in their own account as shortable or not-shortable rather than having to take delivery of the shares to prevent them from being shorted. In addition, if the shareholder loans the shares to be shorted, the shareholder should accrue mark-to-market interest at margin rate since they are essentially loaning the shorter the money to short that stock.
