I did it, but it was on a post that I actually liked, so...
A couple comments on the current implementation... how do post edits affect likes? I may like an earlier version of a post, but not the current version, for instance.
And, also, should it be anonymous who liked a post, or not?
And now, to go off and like an older post that I've had reasons not to reply to (beyond cluttering the thread in question), but I definitely thought it was an excellent, insightful post.

Now to get the obvious pun out of the way...

Anyways, have you noticed that a lot of what we're talking about is currently taking place in this thread? A lot of people replying in agreement? I don't know if that shifts the bar towards or away from likes, but it's certainly happening.

I would like this post, but I have to refuse on principle. Too late to break character.
I believe the world we experiences influences us more than we influence it. We have a whole science devoted to studying it. It's called "consumer marketing." If a person chooses to use a like button, their choice is inescapably influenced by the existence of said button. Indeed, this entire comment only exists because the button exists. Otherwise, it would be little more than a repeat of a and existing comment. But the button existing creates a new context, allowing different, but supporting meaning. Indeed, indeed! the previous statement is only exists because I had a choice and refused it. So too that statement, and this one. There's no logical reason to think the effect doesn't run both ways.

I voted "Meh" because I'm not a fan of how the button looks on the theme I'm on (which I've forgotten). It's a black box down at the bottom of the post, which kinda distracts from the post.
EDIT: QC-light. I forgot that I'm one of those weird ones.

I think the "Like" button is working well. Nicely done!
