I doubt we would implement the "like" feature at all if it were not "always on," since making it user-selectable would largely defeat its purpose. Users can choose not to "like" anything.
The first thing I looked for was how to turn it off (just like have images and other things off)

Arrgh. Turn an adult forum into facebook-like junk.
Change for the sake of change following other sheep
