There should be a "like" and "dislike". Dislike covers not liking the post, and reversing a "like". Not unless you want to use "like", "unlike", and "dislike".

I was just speaking in terms of a better vocabulary.
If I had it my way, you wouldn't be able to undo your like, but you would still be able to "dislike", which is a positive/negative rating system for posts that allow user's to filter valuable/unvaluable content as seen by their peers. YouTube handles it nicely in my opinion, although StackOverflow is great too...
As far as mention being "punished" for having a like removed is something user's poptart about on a daily basis on StackOverflow. Their most common answer (paraphrased) is "We focus on quality of content, not the quality of the user". Which, anyone who's running a website should feel the same way.
You just can't please everybody...
The only solution I see to make more people happy with it would be to never remove the "likes" from the user's total count, but still remove them from the post. Although, is that worth the extra resources I wonder? Not in my opinion...
BTW, the karma system only effects the user, where the likes also effect the content. Huge difference. I much prefer to "like" something when I want to share it socially, and use a voting system for post quality rating.
