I worry though that public votes will enable unstable people to stalk people. Vote the wrong way? Why, I’ll just create some bot accounts to constantly downvote you, and I’ll harass you with replies to every comment you make, reminding everyone that you vote against the grain and shouldn’t be trusted!

Also, the “video telephone” that everyone always so desperately awaited from the future? Yeah, we have that; no, nobody uses it, because we can’t be bothered to dress up for a phone call.
