Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It took a Brevard County jury 14 minutes Friday to find Steven Swallick, 53, guilty. He faces up to 10 years in prison when sentenced next month.

What a ridiculous waste of time and money. Cannabis is less addictive than alcohol or cigarettes, and is non-lethal (compared to 75,000 or 450,0000 American deaths/year for alcohol or nicotine).

Quit pretending it's for medical usage, and stand up for our rights to treat our bodies as we wish, as long as we don't harm anyone else.
