It's true that it is easier to quickly dislike a post, so some people who would not take the time to post otherwise use it as a means to disagree.
But it's also an option that sometimes prevents a long disagreeing post that causes argument.
Pros and cons.

As you don't know why the (none)poster has disliked a post (which, if i'm correct, is the issue some people have with it) any speculation to why the poster disliked the post is made by the reader.
