Net Support Votes

Perhaps too bold but in updating this list, I chose to use the Net support votes. Six candidates had over one hundred support votes but more oppose votes so that their net support was a negative number. I chose to list only those with a positive number of net votes. Comments?

I just became aware of this, and was surprised to see how it was structured. If this is how it works that needs to be made more clear in the description at the top. Using myself as an example, in the 2013 election I got 314 supports, more than several other successful candidates. But, being a long term admin with strong opinions I also got more opposed than those same folks, so my "net" was only 60. So, I get that if that's how this works my name doesn't belong on the list and I'm fine with that, it just needs to be more clear that this is net votes, not raw supports, or it needs to be changed to include a lot more people.
