I don't think it should. It will only encourage attention whoring, and trolling. (thoughtful posts would get thumbed down by particular people who don't like what they read)

How is it possible to troll with a like button?

Because you yourself said that a like button would encourage trolling. I don't see how that is possible.

So I'm asking you...how do you troll with a like button?
