That strikes me largely the same as voting for Party X Presidential Candidate, regardless of his qualifications, because someone not necessarily even representative of the opposing Party Y (but just in it at the time) said something that you didn't like. Obviously, the scope is different, but the "Screw that guy, he's affiliated with some people I don't like so I don't care" mentality is the same.

I don't think that's reasonable, especially because, like you said, those players will just move on to whatever the next top pick is. Just now with one fewer counter.
