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.

Are you kidding? It's a rock-solid, open and shut case. They have the guy's picture, for corn sake. They even found the murder weapon.

As corrupt as the authorities are there, That utterly useless drawing is probably all they need for a conviction. I mean they can't even be sure of the motive, "drug related hit or a crime of passion, but I guess there is not really much difference between the two. IMHO the drawing could be any one of at least 100,000 people.
