<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1413215, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;m not sure how you and I see this differently at this point, weather we think it means one thing or imagine it to mean many possibilities. A &#039;like&#039; really lends nothing helpful to the conversation in such case as this threads disagreements, though there are instances where it can mean nothing but, I agree, and clearly is used as a short cut to typing out, <i>I agree </i>plus any more descriptive terms to identify what specifically you &#039;like&#039; about another persons posts. I am referring to this under the context of such a situation as disagreements or arguments where the application of the &#039;like&#039; is decisive and can be shown to identify all those on one side of an argument who pile on the &#039;likes&#039; of a particularly pointed comment aimed at the opposite view. I am not making this comment in application to a zillion other reasons one might use the like button: to bookmark a thought, link, image, idea, etc. We can discern when others apply the &#039;like&#039; to mean they agree in full with a statement. But if they are employing the &#039;like&#039; and not intending full agreement, it will do them a disservice of miscommunicating to others since the &#039;like&#039; is visible and open to interpretation. Words and sentences are the only things that have emerged once the intention was revealed that the &#039;like&#039; was misinterpreted and the &#039;liker&#039; comes forth posting in an offended or otherwise self-righteous manner. So words and sentences would have been the best way to indicate what they &#039;liked&#039; in specific, from the beginning, as would avoiding careless application of the like in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
