What really pisses me off about this application is the apparent lack of anger on HN. Isn't anyone mad anymore? (but perhaps I'll see a spike now?)


That worked surprisingly fast!

On another note, I'm interested in knowing how "confusion" is gauged - I suspect it might be picking up those asking for clarification as well as those who are truly confused. There seems to be too much confusion for this crowd (unless it's only measuring me).


> There seems to be too much confusion

    I can't get no relief

    Businessmen, they drink my wine
    Plowmen dig my earth

    None of them along the line
    know what any of it is worth


As a mature audience who understand the fine tones of life, perhaps we simply phrase our statements as questions?


And suddenly a giant spike in confusion ... that needs a bit of tuning.


Whenever I post something in anger it gets downvoted, so that may be the issue?


I don't actually want to see more anger here ... I just wanted to see if I could influence the graph.


Apparently we're confused most of the time.


Confusion is negative, so actually we're very sure of ourselves ;)


Rename that to curious and I get it, confused seems a bit heavy
