Expanding on Reddy's comment, Oppose votes don't actually count for any of the Features (not even as a tiebreaker) because the admins don't want to encourage "strategic" voting, e.g. trying to weaken a strong candidate with questionable or insincere Oppose votes. The main reason we have an Oppose option at all is so people can provide constructive criticism. Every now and then, one admin or another proposes to get rid of the Oppose option because they think it attracts too much criticism and not enough constructive. Anyway, if you run again I'd probably support you, although it may depend on who else is on the ballot.
