Thanks for the feedback! Scrolling works best by using a mousewheel or trackpad. I agree it's not ergonomic for the click and drag approach, and adding width would help that.

We ask for a username only to give a unique identifier for a comment, and so that you can see which comments are yours. We don't ask for an email or social network link because frankly, I dislike demos that do :-P

Makes sense. Maybe put the username and comment together? It scared me off and I forgot what I was going to reply to.

I do love the idea of these annotated debates. I wish the last half was pre-annotated, at least with the questions and factcheck.org references. It's a nice way to watch.

The scrolling works well. It's a little weird, though, that it takes the mousewheel scrolling when I'm mousing over the comments. It makes sense, now that I've used it, it was just unexpected enough that I didn't think to try it the first time -- I wanted to focus on the element first.

I see now that it's acknowledging the mouseover focus by making the scrollbar visible, but maybe that should be more visually obvious. I didn't see it at first.
