Duane: Don’t Like Like/Dislike

Duane Rasmussen: I have reduced my punching of likes and dislikes to very few since I learned that the Internet gods allowed others to see my likes and you to see my dislikes. I think I can assume that there are others in the Bluker Community (I hate that word community.) who feel the same as I do but are loath to express an opinion. Something does not need to be political to be controversial. But then maybe comments by way of upticks and downticks need to be monitored. Now that we have NSA reading everything, why not you and others? Don't answer that.

DFO: I can't see who clicks "dislike."

Question: Do you avoid clicking like/dislike on Huckleberries Online b/c you fear others will monitor your preferences?
