Right so put yourself in this situation;

You have a bit of a disagreement with 'Pamela' who is well liked on the forum, all her friends come and like her post where she calls you immature...would that feel nice? it could certainly cause bad feeling I think.

You can now argue that replying with a gif of somebody from BGC laughing is the same but my thoughts on that is that once one person has agreed or posted that gif or smiley the forum moves on, with a like system somebody could feel alienated if a negative post about them gets a string of likes.
