Yes, that's correct.

Yes, I was talking with KiBi about this on IRC just now. I guess
there's not a clear position on what rating someone below NOTA really
means. I feel that rating someone below NOTA is not to be done
lightly, while other people probably feel it's a normal way of showing
you disagree.

For me, rating someone below NOTA doesn't just mean "I wouldn't like
this person as DPL", it means "I wouldn't stay in Debian if this
person was elected".
Reviewing my past votes, only in 2006 and 2007 have I voted someone
below NOTA, and those were extreme cases where I felt very strongly
that a candidate might be damaging to the project.
KiBi's questioning, however, has made me think that maybe I was taking
the below/above NOTA to an extreme.
