I know that last season I gave up on the voting partly because there was heavy handed criticism in this thread, well not this one but last years version. It's not that I can't take the criticism, and I don't exactly mean that I was getting hammered in here, I wasn't , but the overall tone in here made the voting a chore and not fun. I can certainly appreciate that some people like the back and forth discussion that goes with the thread but frankly it stops being fun very quickly.
