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.

      Doesn't anyone, anywhere realize that, perhaps, things have gone a bit too far?

          "I just want the sweet pastries. I have nothing to do with the name," homemaker Zohreh Masoumi told the sales clerk taking her order.

          Masoumi was promptly arrested for her lack of patriotism respect for the prophet in refusing to order freedom fries Rose of the Prophet, instead of french fries Danish pastries.

          Oh, look, they're just like us. I can just recycle my made up news bits.

          So, Danish newspapers can't print an image of Muhammad, but it's perfectly fine to name a pastry after him?

                  I've got to admit too, I was like "lmao" when I read this. This is like a petty rivalry between two kindergarten kids. "my mommy said since im not talking to u and ur from britain, that i wont call our doggy a british bulldog, but a christian hound". Please stop this ridiculous "nananana"ing.

                                        "This is a punishment for those who started misusing freedom of expression to insult the sanctities of Islam..."

                                        This is a misuse of the term "freedom of expression" in and of itself.

                                        Americans have learned to laugh at themselves and their religions. (Mostly.) Get a life, or at least a sense of humor.
