There's a difference between voting low because you mean it and voting low just to be a troll, as I suspect the previous low votes have been. I don't know if you're aware, but every single vote here for every episode we've polled for has included one vote that has been ridiculously low compared to the average. This person has never come forward, never commented, which leads me to believe that they're just being a pain in the ass.
Alternately, yes, I do think you're obligated to share your opinions when your vote does not coincide with the majority. You obviously feel very differently. We're not saying that based on how effectively you argue your point we'll give your vote merit; we're saying that by offering any support (or even taking credit) for your vote, when it is so different from the general consensus, legitimizes it instead of relegating it to the status of a "troll vote."
