That reflects my thinking, as well.
I'm still hoping for at least one downside rating, like the suggested <ew> or perhaps <ugh>

Nah. People want the opportunity to respond, but not everybody is comfortable expressing themselves in their own words. And I think most of us actually like the feeling of having our views supported by others.

I agree, but ...
Let them eat cake.
Look on the bright side: At least one RF poster could take a break from denouncing "icon responses" and I'd cease getting the "in your dreams" 'Optimistic' icon.
I voted yes...
BUT...I'd also like an 'ew' or 'ugh' as has been discussed elsewhere...
The situation I find myself in most often where I find the current selection inadequate is where someone has done a good job of responding to my post, even though it may be clear that there's not much need for further discussion...an 'agree to disagree' sort of situation...traditionally I give it a like, and it's not a funny, winner, informative, or etc.
An interesting rating might be a better fit for that...
Agree will likely replace a lot of my likes...or they're interchangeable...

What? Me worry?
You're a very bad man.

Take a number or stand in line.
I kind of like the idea of more nuanced choices. While like seems like agree, that's not necessarily why like is always used. (interesting sentence) I can like a post because I appreciate the response, while not necessarily saying I agree. Informative is a little different than Interesting, and I think that might be more appropriate than informative at times.

At my site, we have the following:
Like
Dislike
Agree
Disagree
Funny
Sad
Winner
Informative
Love
Useful
Optimistic
Creative
Old
Bad Spelling
Dumb
Of course, at my site, none of this makes any difference, since there are so few members, and the members we do have seldom use them.

"Interesting" is what people say when they are not really all that interested, but don't want to be rude.
"Oh, so you collect old hubcaps? How interesting!"

Yeah, maybe, but if I didn't find someone's comment truly "interesting," I wouldn't give it a "like" at all. I'd just ignore it. To me, "interesting" is something you'd say when something said something you'd never really considered before. So I guess it would be different from "informative" -- but similar. Like, "Oh, okay! I learned something new!"
