...What? Tsukino is proposing we have a way to communicate to the Devs (with a simple glance rather than having to read 58 pages of utter logorrhea) that we dislike what they're saying. The reason we don't have 'dislikes' on the forum is so that nobody has their feelings hurt. It's similar to facebook. Dislikes don't exist because then people flame one another and dislike everything particular people write, even when they might provide something useful (just because they are who they are). It's too easy for people to troll other people, and in the end, if you don't like a post, just ignore it (whereas 'liking' is a positive feature and boosts happy feelings, and lets people know when a post is appreciated. Usually the more likes a post has, the better an idea it is).

It's NOT hypocrisy. It's saying, "we understand why the dislike function doesn't exist, but can we please return it to Dev and Forum Mod posts so we can effectively communicate our displeasure with their news bringing".

I don't understand all this rage that you have. "Childish expression of spite"? Not at all.
