Unfortunately that has been caused by several incidents that happened on this forum.

You're probably referring to the technical aspect of the matter. I rather thought of the social and psychological aspect.

The reason why I think it's childish is not users who sincerely agree or disagree with a post and express that by clicking one of the buttons but because of the possibility that it will become "political", as chairboys put it.
So what is it people dislike? The content? The wording? The person who submitted the post? The fact that the person agreed with someone they don't like or disagreed with someone they like?
Will people be discouraged to participate in discussions if they get a lot of "dislikes"? Will those who get a lot of "likes" will feel that their posts are more important than others?

Thanks for clarifying, I referred to Caryl's post that mentioned the "fixing thread".

My statement was intended to point out the issue with the missing names in the dislike section. Of course people will wonder who disliked their posts and why - and that will lead to (maybe false) associations and suspicion.
Edit: Just saw that the "dislike" names are visible now. Certain factions that already exist just seem to become more evident. Don't know if that's a good thing.
