And how is that any different from being hostile to people who post opinions that are not popular?

If I'm going to be attacked, I'd rather be able to defend myself and explain why the other side is wrong and why I believe what I believe. But I cannot defend myself if the other side is anonymous and if they hide behind a dislike.

If you want to avoid hostility then you are condemned to NEVER speak your mind, never agree with something controversial, never even say something as innocent as "I love my Playstation 4" cause there will ALWAYS be someone somewhere that will think: How dare you love that piece of shit? My favorite system is the other one, so how dare you say you love your Playstation?

Right now you are voicing your disagreement with a transparent like system. Aren't you worried someone is going to be hostile towards you for that? The answer is you are not worried obviously or you would not have posted your opinion about the like system. So if you are not worried about posting an opinion with your nickname in full daylight why are you worried to like something and having people know you did?

@Bold Very different ... 

The like system can already be abused for purposes such as supporting trolling/flaming posts which I don't think is currently in against rules but making it transparent reveals those shit mischievous perpetrators which can directly draw undue tension in future discussions between the users who the liked the posts and the victims or ire from others ... 

Likes being transparent just makes it far easier to encourage shit posting towards other users ...
