It's not exactly a yes/no vote.  If that were the case the option would 
be between voting "yes" (=+1)if you really liked the person, voting "no" 
(=-1) if you really didn't like him, or not voting at all (=0) if it you 
didn't care either way about the person.  The dynamic could be quite 
different.
