The reason that they don't discount useless
support votes is because the
main purpose of RfA is to see whether we trust the user in question with the
tools. The default option is "support", but you must have a good reason to
oppose.
Does every opponent have to have a *different* good reason?
If not, then an "oppose" without details could easily mean "I agree with
the reasons other people have given" and should be legitimate.
(And I think much of the ill feeling here is the knowledge that a RfA for
anyone else would not be treated this way.)
