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.

Full marks to Caitlin Hayward-Tapp - "a crime is a crime" whether or not you are a Holocaust survivor or your wife has been murdered.

Perhaps teenagers will be inspired by Caitlin Hayward-Tapp to demand that politicians and the public, including celebrities start opposing not just he rape of a 13 year old child by a Holocaust survivor but also Apartheid Israel's Palestinian Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million, 7 million refugees) (see "Palestinian Genocide": Palestinian Genocide ), the Iraqi Genocide (over 4 million dead, 5-6 million refugees), the Afghan Genocide (3-7 million excess deaths, 3-4 million refugees plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refuges from NW Pakistan under Obama) and the worsening Climate Genocide (10 billion will die this century due to unaddressed climate change, this including 6 billion infants, 3 billion Muslims and 2 billion Indians) (see "School War Crimes Tribunals. Can children save the world's children?": School War Crimes Tribunals. Can children save the world's children? ).
