I have to say, I couldn't disagree more. I actively dislike "like" and "dislike" buttons. Maybe it comes from posting on other forums, but they just seem to add another layer of cliquishness, and even occasional venom, to these conversations. We're already faceless enough. If you have an opinion you want to share, the least you can do is write a sentence or two about it. Pamestique - those notifications are easy to disable in your settings, which is the first thing I did when the site came back up.
