Toronto Star goes Wacky with Scenti-Mental I'm Tamie, 16 and on strike-"The Overpowering Scent of Maleness"

Read ArticleArticle Source: Toronto Star

It's wounding and cruel when a woman teeters past us on five-inch heels, swearing at striking workers, calling us all "faggots" and "idiots."

I can say that it's insulting and degrading when a patron decides to drive through the crowd of strikers, nearly bowling us all over. I can especially say that it's so, so painfully wrong to be malicious, rude and spiteful to a group of people who just want to make a point for 15 minutes of your day.

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.
