The main submission was flagkilled so thought this, more technical post would be more on topic.

Looks like even this much traffic was enough to take it down, so maybe it's just as well.

I can't evaluate how serious or useful this is but I really like the idea. Anything that might encourage more constructive discussions is a perfectly valid thing to explore. I love the idea of trying to characterize the contributions of different commenters based on their history, including my own. Not just for things like "hatefulness" or "incoherence", which is what this seems to be detecting, but other things as well, like "helpfulness" or "erudition" or apparent areas of interest.

Why does hate have negative connotations? If someone did evil to me, and I can't fight back, what do I have besides hate? And the app in question doesn't work.

Forget it and move on with your life?

I like the idea -- sure wish I could try it. It hasn't worked since the original submission for me.

I have a feeling I'm a hater.
