Facebook's real name policy is a joke. Trying to discredit the research post upthread on that basis is laughable.

But you don't have any research to back it up, right? It's just opinion. In my opinion adding a like button provides no positive benefit, and instead, a negative impact.

Yes. And we have a vocal section of the membership that apparently wants to go back to High School again.
Don't know about you, but I sure don't want to go down that road.
