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.

Despite having that much of the poison, he was clearly inept at using it, as his ex partner is still alive.

No doubt, cartooncat! He tried four times and still couldn't get the job done. I wonder how he was going to explain the poisoning to the cops? I can't believe they still make that stuff either and how did he get his hands on so much of it? I'm so glad neither she nor the children were harmed physically (I'm sure there is some psychological damage) and that he got caught.
