I have to disagree with most suggestions.

What criteria would make someone purple ? Popularity ? Number of karma points ? What would be the incentive to respect them more then others ? And why would they deserve more respect than others ?

I'm a long time HN reader and I don't have much karma. Its because I try to post and comment wisely. Why wouldn't I deserve respect ?

My impression is that radical comments are more prone to votes since they pull on the emotional strings.

It would be a bad idea to favor people voting in the new section because I bet people would vote blindly just for the benefit of voting.
