I'm very much of the philosophy to spoil your ballot if there isn't a candidate that deserves your vote. You're still voting but not for any particular candidate.
I also am annoyed when people say they have the right not to vote. There is no right not to vote. You have the right to vote but that does not equate the opposite is also true. You have the right to life but you do not have the right to suicide. I understand the point you're making, and I'm nitpicking on rhetoric but you're trying to say you don't have a requirement to vote.
