Bad idea. A person may get mass neg repped purely for going against mass opinion, even though the mass opinion is wrong.
That's the whole point of a dislike system, its to show the stance of the general population, right or wrong. The dislikes don't harm a person in any way, its exactly like a poll saying whether or not people like an idea.
I myself have gone against mass opinion here multiple times with my "Clans OP" parody threads that I pull out at times in which people continue to cry that IS is weak while IS crushes opposition.
You just go on out there, post your opinion, and earn your reds like a man, knowing that if you really put up a good argument as to why you have your opinion, you might have shaken the hold each disliker had on theirs.
