Likes given and likes received

[Monica]

Uhm, you could, maybe, just maybe, ignore the likes given to a "hurtful" post? And whether something is hurtful or not is entirely determined by that who is supposed to be "hurt" by the comment. I think that it is more than ridiculous to even contemplate on removing a button that does nothing but adds a like number to a post because you do not like when a group of people empower each other against their percieved opponent. What is the difference between cliques liking ech other's post (something which I have seen in arguments from BOTH sides quite a few times) or cliques discusing things in PM and then coming up with a consensus answer? One is transparent, other is not. Liking something is transparent, it is clear, it is visible. The interpretation? That is up to the individual.

Let's take it a step further then. Let's just ignore all hurtful comments altogether, and eliminate guideline #1. It's all so subjective.
