> The most negative ones are shown below. The message that is the third most negative by this metric is the following: > Looks like a cool project, but I can't scroll very far down the site before my browser crashes. I've reproduced this several times, here's the terminal output if it helps: $ conkeror https://alpha.trycarbide.com https://alpha.trycarbide.com ...... JavaScript strict warning: https://alpha.trycarbide.com/ https://alpha.trycarbide.com/, line 603: SyntaxError: test for equality (==) mistyped as assignment (=)? fault.... That is clearly a false positive.

It's probably picking up on words like "Looks ... cool ... but", "crashes", "I can't", "strict", "warning", "mistyped", "fault".

My favorite is #5 from the top, where a user DMCA'd themselves to get yahoo to delete some website they created previously: > I used to have a Geocities containing weird bad poetry I wrote when I was a teenager. I forgot about it, until years later I stumbled upon it again. I was embarrassed. I asked Yahoo to delete it. But I'd forgotten the password, and I'd used fake personal details (wrong date of birth) to create the account, and I couldn't remember what the fake info was, so they refused to delete it because I couldn't verify that I was who I said I was. What do I do? I hit on a solution. I decided to DMCA myself. I sent Yahoo a DMCA takedown request for my old Geocities, and straight away it disappeared. Mission accomplished. Again, not negative at all, IMHO.

  I find something deeply poetic about the post that you quoted. It somehow reminds me of haiku.

  Yeah, been there done that. I once created a fake neo-nazi like web site with the same name of our Dark Age of Camelot guild. Mythic had a no guild name change policy at the time and we wanted to change the name. I sent off a trouble ticket to customer support with the link to the "newly discovered" site and we had a new name in less then an hour.

My understanding is that the scores from sentiment analysis are indicating the confidence that the message is positive or negative, not the degree of negativity. Can anyone with experience with this particular method comment? That _is_ a negative comment, the site is crashing the browser.
