Okay, is it just me, or does sending other dudes and dudettes love hearts in the form of liking their posts feel a bit wrong?

I mean i only press like if the post is good - i dont want to show my affections tooo early on a first date .

Shouldnt the 'like' button be a thumbs up or a clap hand symbol or even a hat tip ...but A love heart ???? Come on A bit steep doncha think .


And if you have a 'like', shouldnt you have a 'dislike' ? Or a 'read your remark buddy- but you're a whack job' button.

So i'm starting a campaign to have the' i heart you button' changed for something a little less forward - say....a brown starfish for poop and a gold starfish for yay

Whose with me? Lets storm the SK office with our banners and plackards held high - and a list of our demands ...
What do we want
We want a brown starfish button
When do we want it
Now !!

I don't mind it. We are ka-tet here, and I love you all.

Never actually thought of it before. Think you're making a big deal out of nothing.

A big deal out of nothing ... Good god man, if we carry on going about dishing our admiration out willy ...and indeed nilly, then wheres does it end - hmmm.

I'll tell you where... The collapse of civilisation as we know it, human sacrifice ...dogs and cats living together ...mass hysteria !!

I have a few subsequent thoughts...

1) I think you sometimes go a bit wrong often about halfway through your thinking, SHEEMIEE; i.e., a discussion about changing an emoticon, cool, a discussion about storming Stephen King's office with flaming placards, I'm not as sure...

2) The site used to have a Dislike feature which I personally think we're well-rid of, as I think why encourage antagonism? It's a good thing to communicate in a positive way so simply, while to be able to dislike a post without explanation is counterproductive to me.

3) I personally have always enjoyed Liking members' posts. I know that it feels nice to me to be Liked, and so I assume it makes others feel nice; so, rarely do I not Like a post. I figure, what with how mis-communicative text can get, why not take advantage of texts' perks, such as Liking, using smilies, etc? BTW, believe it or not I hadn't noticed the little red heart, or I'd subliminalized it for some reason. Anyway, I think the little heart is a good thing.

To summarize, yes SHEEMIEE, I think it's just you.
