counter-counter-counter point: It's not a matter of me agreeing, you can't force the user base to use a feature the only way you intend on having it working. It's kinda naive of you to expect that every user of this site is going to only use the like feature in lieu of writing a "agreed/+1" comment instead, isn't it? You don't actually you think everyone that liked the original post in this thread "liked" your post instead of posting an "agreed/+1"-style comment, do you?
P.S. If the like feature is only for the likely less than 1% of users that have ever posted an "agreed/+1" style comments that make up an infinitesimally small portion of the comments on this site, then why bother programming a feature that you know most users have no intention of using, and why bother getting so much feedback on it? Furthermore, if you are happy catering to such a small portion of the userbase, why are you so openly against the users that post "disagree/-1" style comments? Why are you discriminating against them while favoring their counterparts?
