How do I stop liking my own quotes from my own books?

Nah, barely on speaking terms... For obvious reasons.
The system assumes that if you are adding a quote, you wish to "like" it.
Hm. I'm currently in that blurry state between a couple of beers, 6 hours of ad copy, a 1200 word news article and an episode of Red Dwarf. Why does it think I like anything?
It automatically makes you "like" your own quote if you add one, but all you can do is unlike it afterwards. If you click on "Like" I think it undoes it.
Wait, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you should click on "1 person likes this" and that might undo it. Sorry, I can't remember. I'm not being very helpful :)
I always thought that was for quotes you liked of others, you know famous writer's, president's, not your own. Hummm..
this is my favorite thread title on the site.
Paul, If you want to delete your "Like" go to your main profile page (when you click on your photo) and scroll down the page until you see the section "Quotes Paul Likes". On the right hand side there is a tiny 'edit'. Click on that and it takes you to a page where you can change the order of quotes, or delete something by clicking on the (again) tiny X to the right of the quote.

Got it, and it works. I saw that, and it just said PW quotes, and I was in no state of mind at 1AM to try doing something I might have to redo. Thanks, Monica.

My uncanny ability to remember my own embarrassing klutziness will help, but good idea. I cannot begin to describe how I felt about seeing myself liking my own quotes.

"There shrieks a fine madness. Do have one, they're delicious."
It's there as a sort of public health warning, not for me to admire my own work. How do I get rid of it?
