The Tyranny of the Annoying is a phenomenon often seen in online conversation products where conversation is dominated by the people who talk the most, have the strongest opinions, and are rudest to other people.
This is caused by UIs in which people who talk more can dominate the conversation, and people attempting to be constructive are forced into awkward public arguments.
Hubcard reduces these problems due to Revision-Driven Conversations, Semi-Anonymous Comments, and Author Clusters.
