Misunderstanding is as likely wjetjer its a like or dislike. The mistake either way is to presume that clicking the button is support for or disapproval of the entire post. Most times I think this isn't the case.

People also read a lot of intent into use of these little buttons. Its like popularity contest. I've noticed many times people disagree with posts from some and agree with the same message posted from a person who is on their team.

I rate posts I think are silly as funny all the time, even though I know the poster was being earnest. Just how I interpret the little dudes.

I think I'll dislike myself, just for ships and giggles.

EDIT - Hey, it won't let me dislike my own post! Help me out, fellas.

I disagree with your disagreement therefore I agree with your post.

Do we have to be subjected to that sort of language?

No, not joking.
ROFL.

I can see how that word might hit home with you..given your name is the first one I thought of when I wrote that.

Anyway, doing that click and run **** just shows you to be passive aggressive while remaining conflict averse.

If that's who you are...that's who you are. Sure as hell ain't who I am.

So you target a female poster with this? Classy.

Sometimes if I click the disagree it's a proverbial "you talking to me!"
To which I expect the return...why you talking to me?
At which point we begin the exchange of frenzied button pushing and imoji war.

But seriously if I dislike a post and you don't ask why I assume you don't care so i am not going to write a discourse on why I think that.
