As for using what we've liked against us... what can I say, that says a lot more about the users that try to use it this way, people that should be avoided and that won't last long in the site, than about the rest of us. After all, if I like a post it is because I find it funny, because I agree with what it says or because it helped me in any way. There's nothing to be ashamed for that. |
I agree it says a lot about the users that will try and use it this way. Unfortunately, based on my past experience with the userbase of this site, and with the direction it appears the mods want to take this site, I highly doubt that behavior will be discouraged or that the people that will employ such tactics will be moderated for it.
Sometimes I like posts I wholeheartedly disagree with because the argument is well reasoned and well supported. How does one draw that conclusion from seeing my name next to a post I liked?
