So, @jack apparently wants to get rid of the 'like' button on @Twitter to 'improve the quality of discourse'. Should we keep the one thing on Twitter that shows pure positivity -- a heart-shaped icon that conveys warmth, respect, and approval?

Another issue to consider might be the side effects of eradicating likes upon the network criticality of a given message. Relying only on re-broadcasting is likely to amplify some of the worst tendencies of users to speak hyperbolically in order to cross the retweet threshold.

WHAT ABOUT MOST TWEETS THAT AREN'T SOME POLITICAL VIEW. Why is it wrong for me to not want to spam my followers with tons of stupid jokes and meme that I "like" but don't care that they see.
