hmm I can understand that, though people could easily still get mad
example: you post a message and people think it's really ashame you have to go through that stuff etc and give you lots of hugs
then I post a problem I'm having and I don't get any hugs on my post, even though it's just as trying.
don't you think one of the risks with this hug button is just that.. people getting offended, because people arn't showing psympathy for their posts but are others?
