Now that we can even like specific comments, how should those likes be handled? Should we see a list on each comment of who liked what comment/thread? Should we see a number of how many likes are on a given comment/thread? If the dislikes outweigh the likes, should that number be negative or should it stay at zero until it becomes positive again? Should we keep the same system we have now of not seeing any of it? If so, why? Do you have another idea for how it should work? If so, what is it?

I think it would be fine as long as only the number of likes was visible. As long as discussion doesn't turn into a huge contest for likes, it should be fine, especially since there's no reputation of any kind for individual users that could preempt such things.
