like, agree, dislike, thanks list

The buttons just represent an opinion, generally in response to one.
What's so difficult?
Pushing a "button" with a positive response doesn't require a written or verbal reply because your in agreement with what's been posted. Pushing the "button" when you disagree should require a clarification as to why. No one that I know sits around a table during a discussion and says "I disagree " without explaining themselves or being asked to.
