To expand upon this question, I would like to ask what is the evidence/hint to Aragorn's supposed extremist decision to exclude Men from the Shire?

I think it poor logic to exclude Men or Dwarves. Wouldn't that sever relations to Gondor? To Aragorn? I don't remeber the exact page that Aragorn says this (but I think it's in Homeward Bound in ROTK) doesn't he hint on coming to the shire himself? or vice-versa?
