Dvorak was more than a messenger he was the creator & instigator... Would you argue he's just "blogging" so fact-based reporting is optional? Dvorak was pushing the limits of responsible journalism (similar to TechCrunch at times). We a

As mentioned in many other comments - there is no good way for a commenting/voting system to determine a user's motivations for voting (in either direction). ...But there are subtle ways to provide incentives for user voting behavior. For i
