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.

- HashHishBang 12y agoWoah, I always pondered the idea of doing a formal language for this but it's awesome to see someone else's take on it. Thanks for the link.

- tjradcliffe 12y agoFunnily enough, this comment how has my second-highest hate-score (the highest is a fairly level-headed comment on drug policy.) Apparently my cunning plan to fake being a nice person on HN is working.
