I remember having recently read that Zuckerberg is loathe to introduce a dislike button in FaceBook (FB.) He feels that too many dislikes may disappoint a person away from the FB world. Thus it comes as a surprise that FB has introduced a feature that allows you to dislike a picture.
To use it click on a photo in your news feed, scroll to the bottom, there alongside Share, Send and Like you will find an Options button. Click it and Dislike will be one of the options shown. When you have disliked a picture you get more options to either report the matter to FB or send a message directly to the person who posted the picture.
This dislike option naturally raises a question. Why am I not allowed to dislike somebody's textual post, though FB has now agreed to give the option for pictures? Is there something sacred about printed text? And if it is so, how about the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words? Going by this saying a picture should be even more sacred.

It may be added that it has been argued by some people that denying the Dislike option for any form of expression is not conducive to the democratic way of life.
Further, there is a very anomalous situation resulting from this dichotomous approach. I am not allowed to dislike if you type out your text into FB, but I can dislike it if it is posted in the form of a picture or embedded in a picture, jpg or whatever.
So Mr. Zuckerberg, would you mind sharing with us the big picture in your mind: Any innate aversion to hieroglyphics? Just kidding!
