No, the point is that someone like potato_hamster knows that he holds unreasonable opinions regardless of the existence or lack thereof of a like system. The existence of a like system would make that more apparent to people at large, so a like system poses a threat. What you quoted was my response to the statement that a like system serves no other purpose than to distract from the content of conversations. |
My opinions are perfectly reasonable. However, some of them are not very popular amongst large swaths of users on this site. It's pretty obvious that users such as Rol have already begun to construct a narrative that the like system is a means of invalidating the opinions of those they disagree with. This is precisely what I thought would happen as soon as I saw the like icons on posts. Rol has proven my point quite handily.
