I think the dislike is a compromise between not saying anything and getting into an argument.
As we've all seen, there have been plenty of times on this forum where people have felt compelled to tell a poster they are wrong, and have then gone into great detail to tell them just how wrong they are.
This will in turn incite a reply from the poster defending their point of view, and before we know it it's WWIII.
The dislike button will hopefully prove useful as some forum users may be content to clicking "dislike" to publicly signify their disagreement, rather than with lenghy posts which invite retaliation.
I've got high hopes (mmmmm, time for some Floyd
) but if it proves to cause more problems than it solves it can always be taken off
