I agree with you that we don't need to encourage negativity here. I can only imagine a new user asking a new user question and getting bombarded with dislikes.
Inherently, neither "dislike" nor "like" is necessarily a reflection on the poster, depending on the context. For example, I could post that XYZ Airline failed to honor my upgrades and lost my luggage. I would see "dislike" as a gesture of support in that case.
