I realize, if you don't like a thread or topic, don't read it, or if you read it and don't like it, keep it to yourself. In this ever protective society we live in, that's a great thought, but I don't see anything wrong with being able to say "yes I read this, I'm not going to offer my negative opinion because I'll be at risk of getting a warning so instead I'm going to hit the dislike button". As it is, you can read a thread, put your .02 positive spin on it, AND hit the like button. If I respond negatively on something, it can either get me shunned, or warned and my thoughts deleted. I know, didn't your mother tell you If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all ?
