Okay, if people are getting hurt by oppose votes, or oppose votes are getting a little too rude, why don't we simply remove the 'oppose' option from the ballot? People can vote for whoever/whatever story or image they want to win. Not voting for something seems like enough of an "oppose" to me. The story with the highest number of votes still wins. In case of a tie, here's an example of how I think it should be handled: Two stories both have ten votes, the story that reached ten first wins.
