One might also be inclined to vote "neutral" if he/she finds the words "traitor" and "hero" to be gross exaggerations, unhelpful, and a bit melodramatic. For example, a less overwrought question might ask something along the lines of, "Did Snowden's actions result in a net positive or a net negative?" Obviously that question could use work, too, but at least then I (as just one example) could make a vote that says, in essence, "Yes, I think Snowden performed a valuable service which, on the whole, was positive, even though I don't buy into the notion of 'hero' very much and am not at all sure that even if I did that Snowden would qualify."
