Seems like a long long time ago the subject of like/dislike buttons came up here. Also seems like someone pointed out that having a dislike button was a sure fire way to gin up a board meltdown. Made sense to me.
While a 'like' might be of no greater significance in the greater scheme of things than the gold star kinder garden teachers stick on the kids's crayon drawings, still they provide an easy way to pass on a bit of positive reinforcement for participating.
'Dislikes'' on the other hand would tend to be taken rather more personally, I should think. Grudges held, flames initiated, wars breaking out, general armageddon ensues.
So, not being particularly fond of meltdowns, I'm in favor of likes and agin dislikes.
Oz, PBUH, has gotten this one right.

Further intense racking of my memory cells has produced the feeling that (just possibly) the discussion I so vaguely recall may have taken place over at Daddy's. LOL, if so, all hail the wisdom of deej.
Except they did away with likes as well. Maybe those guys over there were touchier than the mellow denizens of BoyToy.
