thought to send me a form letter about how hard
they're working for me.
It's harmless enough though, I just choose to ignore it.
A user preference or some other way of disabling the use of WikiLove on a
per-user basis might be nice. Similar to an e-mail's "unsubscribe"
feature.
I'm not sure if there's a bug filed about this already.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question, but users can already disable
the
WikiLove feature on their editing preferences
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing (so
that a user doesn't ever see the WikiLove button).
Or, do you mean that users can disable the WikiLove button from appearing
above their userpage when someone else visits it? (so that a user can
opt-out of ever receiving WikiLove-derived messages).
