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.

There's a twist. Preserve the wild life Conservationists. Kill the animals.

If these really are retaliatory killings, what in the world are people retaliating about? It can't be the death of Steve Irwin, because that would be completely idiotic and 100% contrary to what he was about. He was a lover of wildlife, in all its forms. He made it his life's mission to teach people about animals, to protect them and preserve them for future generations. Killing an animal, any animal, as "revenge" for his death is oxymoronic.

He died for nothing if people are going to do this.
He wanted us to understand wildlife, not kill it. That was his life, and that's what he wanted the world to do -- respect it, love it.
Stingrays are lovely creatures. We accidentally caught one whilst fishing and after we let it go I went for a gentle swim with it just to make sure it was ok. Don't kill them -- This was a freak accident along with the 17 before him (one of whom I knew personally, but it never scared me off them!)

Roving anti-Stingray gangs can seen on the shores. A man, dressed in camouflage and heavily armed, looks out into the distance. "This one's for Steve," he says with steel in his voice, the solemn words of his blood-oath trailing out over the water. "It's us against them now. They started this, but we'll finish it."

Now really, I'm guessing this doesn't have anything to do with Steve Irwin. It's probably just a fluke.
BTW Who the heck keeps track of how many sting rays are killed anyway?
