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.

Could it really be possible that North Koreans really do not understand the power of a martyr on the American psyche? I will say this about Americans, you really do not want to give them any excuse to employ their military industrial complex. It is their single favorite thing to do, and they will do so with very little provocation. I am just saying...
