…I have to say that the ability for us to hit a button to tell people that we ‘like’ a comment is the silliest. It isn’t really a bad thing. It is just silly… and a little annoying… I mean, I like the idea that if someone likes a comment, they can comment back. Sometimes people like my comment and then reply to it also. This seems redundant and inefficient. To be honest, I don’t really see the need for the like button on posts either for pretty much the same reasons. In real life, if someone keeps talking to me… as in listening to what I have to say and then replying with their own thoughts, I just work on the assumption that they like me and what I have to say. If they do not respond and walk away, I assume they do not. This system has worked pretty well so far.

Pouring My Art Out 
There are times when I don’t “Like” a post because I don’t like the content, but I may still comment. There are times when I “Like” a post just to let the author (Arthur) know I stopped by but didn’t really have a comment. There are times when I “Like” a post & comment because I really liked the post!
I like the “Like” ability we now have when someone comments on our blog. I don’t always have a witty repartee but I want to let the commenter know how much I liked their comment!
I answer all my comments…
Sooooo I must remember not to like your comments & posts?
exactly
Hmmm another rule
I don’t actually enforce the rules… all three of them or whatever… it is more like a running gag posing as consistency.
I wonder what a gag looks like when it’s running?
goofy
I know what’s with the rules?! I’m not allowed to use lol lol lol lol either..
I have to set some standards around here…
Pft
well I do
His blog, his rulezzzz Bwa ha ha ha it’s only a matter of time till I get the lashing for breaking too many of them too often.
We do not lash people around here… okay… maybe the head minion now and then, but that is his special Birthday request… so…
hmmmm probably more than I need to know
I don’t judge him… he’s Canadian
I really don’t think he should take over the world now! lol
Not on his own…. but with the minions and the squirrels and all, well, … ya never know.
But are his minions brainwashed?
No, they’re crack squirrel possessed
they do breed fast
not if they’re doin it alone they won’t
right… I was talking about the crack squirrels, not the minions… although, now that I mention it…
mmmhmm
yup
Well that’s comforting..
Isn’t it though? Nothing like a minor squirrel possession to warm the cockles of your heart, eh?
possessed squirrel heart cockles…
Sounds like an item on a French menu
HA
Well umm..hmm..
…ooo000ooo…
it is to me
It would be wouldn’t it?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
no… Trent still has a dirty brain
Well good..I think..
it is hard to tell how good it is
What now I forget again! SQUIRREL!
leave my squirrels alone
Squirrel!
either way
I ain’t doin’ it alone
Yeah, doin it alone isn’t nearly as much fun
ha… you kill me
it isn’t up to you
Yes it is
oh
I don’t know if we have blogging or Facebook to blame. If the ‘like’ came before the ‘comment’ …but you gotta admit we all just want to be ‘liked’ lol 🙂
But I want to be liked orally… or… uh… verbally… or at least with fingers if not the tongue… uh… wait… that all sounded so wrong.
Totally lol.
maybe I should stick to buttons
I think of comment likes as applause: it’s expressing an opinion without actually saying anything.
I express opinions without saying anything all the time… with lots of words
Sending a round of applause here.
You mean this?
Shouldn’t I?
why not?
Ask him
maybe I will… wait… ask who what now?
Eh?!
exactly
or this
that is nice
Ha
yee ha
I can understand this type of view ! Fancy checking my blog out and giving my comment a like haha
well played
