And here’s a list of the top 50 profiles by comment count. These numbers only includes comments made on threads started by one of the 598 profiles that I scraped, so it obviously doesn’t include all of their activity across Google+, but it’s a big enough sample size that I think the relative rankings should still hold.

(I’d insert a funny quip here about Master Debater Steve McRae having the second loudest mouth in the community, but let’s be honest…those jokes practically write themselves.)
