10. It promotes cliquish behavior.

At times cliquish behavior has been a serious problem here on DU and has even been used by disruptors.

The other side of the coin is alert stalking, but that's easy easily dealt with by revoking posting privileges. It's not so easy to cut people off for "liking" something.

Personally, I don't care if anyone "likes" my stuff or not. Constructive comments, good or bad, are welcome. Heck, even if someone simply replies with a smiley, that's more meaningful than an effortless one-click "like."
