This is the kind of request faction leaders don't like. We (OSI) know nothing about this character. He has no relation to us. Yet, if I told this player to take a hike, there is a good chance he'd think I'm a dick because I told him no.
I merely said no (or in this case ignored his request) because my character has no reason in role play to give him the technology, much less even speak with him.
I am not violating my responsibility as a faction leader for ignoring his request either.

That responsibility doesn't state I have reply to every request. It merely says I have to provide fair judgement.
I could probably talk to him and explain why I am ignoring/not approving his request and help him improve it, but I don't have the time to help everyone who makes these kinds of requests. Quite frankly if you can't conjure up the ability to provide sufficient role play to justify a request by yourself; you likely don't deserve the tech. Faction leaders aren't here to hold everyone's hands. Will I guide you if you talk to me? Yes, unless I am busy. Will I write your tech request for you? Nope.
