Actually the "like" button has nothing to do with reputation. Next to the permalink post number in the upper right corner of every post is a "rep" and "rap" button. The "rep" button is used to add to someone's reputation, the "rap" button is used to report a post to site staff.
IMO the reputation system is somewhat meaningless since many people just don't use it.

"Well... Perhaps they should..." 
The 'Rep Power' indicator is supposed to be a reflection of the person's reputation "in the community" - how highly regarded the person is by "the community at large"...
'Rep Points' should be given for any reason whereby you have a "high regard" for the person; however, because they are associated with individual posts - the idea is to "REP" the posts which contain content that you determine to be an illlustration of whatever it is that you believe indicates the person to be "of good reputation"...
It is not simply about whether you like what they said - that is what the 'Like' button is about -- which says:
"I like the general-overall-impression that I get from this post."
or
"There is something in particular about this post that I like."
Sometimes, a person may use the 'Like' button "conservatively" in the sense of "I Really Like" -- in which case, you have:
"I really like the general-overall-impression that I get from this post."
or
"There is something in particular about this post that I really like."
There is a difference between the two ('REP' and 'Like') - and each should be used for the purpose it is intended.

The like button was added recently,and some post are very good,but if the reader
doesn't like the op,i think they might associate the post with the person,instead of
being interested in the post then maybe responding to the post.

i.e., ... :
'Like' => "I like [the content] in this post."
or
'Like' => "I like the thought / idea / image / etc. generated in my mind, based on [the content] in this post."
'REP' => "I like who you are (or, appear to be), based on [the content] in this post."
or
'REP' => "I believe in those characteristics that you seem to exhibit, based on [the content] in this post."
"If both apply, then give 'em 'REP' and 'Like' it too!"

What is the difference between reputation points and reputation power?
You are not able to know who thinks you are a good person?
If someone puts me on the rap sheet(hahaha that sounds so hilarious coming from me, like I am in jail or something) anyways, if they do this does this also show up and if so where at? Or does it just go to the admin and they will contact me?
I know I ask a lot but it would be nice to know..
Thanks!
