If a person Likes a post their name is displayed to the forum. If a person Dislikes a post their name is not displayed....Where is the fairness in that??

If a person indicates that he/she likes a post that most dislike, that persons  name is displayed.  (Six Of one Half A Dozen of the Other) .

Somebody did not like the above post; that is fair enough. The post is a quote from Australian law, All laws are not necessarily right and just and many of them are ridiculous but on the other hand ISIS law will never ever be Right and Just in the civilized world.

One has to wonder why this law is not being enforced??

Materially Assisting Enemies

Of course no member argues with another when a members post receives a "Like" the post writeup Adrian, for there's nothing there to argue about.
The reason as to why the names aren't displayed up when a member chooses to press the "Dislike Button", is for the sole purpose of preventing any further disagreement/argument, just for arguments sake.
I can't afford to have people on here continuously going backwards & forwards over senseless debate, on something that both disagree on & cannot come to terms with. No need to search for scalps
There are times where one just has to agree on disagreeing & leaving it at that (for all our sakes)
