I haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but I think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.
Just your own topics and posts of course. What do you think Simon?
Likes and Dislikes. How about making the identities known to the poster?

Worst idea ever
I haven't logged on to this site in ages I just logged on so I can personally dislike your post
Now that you know who I am does that help

Bad idea! could lead to retaliatory dislikes just because someone didn't agree with and/or fawn over someone else's comment. IMO.

Well yes actually. It means I can ask you why you feel that way. Maybe I could clarify something I hadn't explained clearly or perhaps I'd posted something stupid and I could learn from a further discussion.
I didn't think it was such a controversial suggestion. Facebook reactions and Twitter likes are public, it's nothing new. Sure, there's the possibility of poor behaviour as FedUpJW suggests but we're a pretty well behaved bunch for the most part. We're certainly an older demographic.
I don't know, it was just an idea.

When someone dislikes your post, they dont necessarily feel like debating you, or want you to expand on the subject further.
Sometimes they are having a bad day - sometimes they think you are a dickhead, sometimes they are the dickhead, sometimes they just dont agree with you- or perhaps they have judged you based on previous posts and dont like you.
Other times, someone may dislike your post and tell you exactly why.
Im giving myself 3 thumbs up for this reply.

I'm not really a fan of the like/dislike buttons because of the anonymity involved. You never know if someone that disliked a post has commented after with a reason.
I'm sure that sometimes there are those that dislike a post because............reasons......not related to the post itself.
