I can be a cantankerous, vociferous, mean, son-of-a-bitch and could give a flying rats ass who likes or dislikes my posts. A thousand dislikes would not deter me in the least from being an active part of this forum and speaking my mind. A hundred dislikes in a specific forum-argument would cause me to argue even harder.
However, I am also self-aware and know that I am not in the majority on that type of mindset.
I also realize that my friends Chris, Cliff, Manny, and Rob are waaaay ahead of me on appropriate (forum) behavior. They keep me in line when I am being a shit-head, and reel me in when I am activated and not thinking clearly. I trust the judgement of those guys over my own judgement when it comes to (my) anti-social behaviors.
Therefore I am voting with those aforementioned gentlemen on this issue. If they think a "dislike" button is a negative and will lead to hard-feelings and be a detriment to forum peace as well as new membership, then I can only agree with them.
