Less, it maybe he just likes a different bit of my post.
When giving a 'like' it is hard to let the poster which bit of the post that chimed with your own feelings.
It maybe that you both liked the post, but for different reasons......maybe he likes the sound of the velvet glove.

Oh, and Cashy has taught me a very valuable lesson. That is, 'no matter how bad things seem......look for the positive' .......and my own current mantra is:- be kinder than you have to be.
