I don't know who needs to hear this where, but being able to sort a user's comments by controversial would be a quick way to get a gauge on how generally inflammatory a user is when moderating one of their comments.

People get downvoted by others who disagree with them or just don't like what they said. The same comment would get upvoted in one community and downvoted in another.

I don't think sorting a user's comments by controversal is going to get you the data points you think about.

I still think it would be a cool feature, mostly for the novelty of it, but I do not believe it will be anywhere close to a measure of how inflammatory a user is.
