is exactly that: a plugin that list your opinions or views on two separate sides
of the page according to the positive or negative ideology of the comment.
 The 
basic premise is for a blog to contain a subject matter in a single post which, 
can instill a wave of comments that are split into two groups as responses to the
single post. Pro/Con, Conservative/Progressive, Beatles/Rolling Stones, Mom/Dad,
Product opinions, Positive/Negative Reviews…. endless possibilities. Demo at http://
twosides.tswdev.com

### Features

 * Pro / Con styled comments
 * One type goes to the left of page and the other to the right
 * Set background colors for comments and opener buttons
 * One button opens positive comments and the other opens negative
 * You can name comments anything you want in admin panel. (pro/con, upside/downside,
   etc.)
 * Change wording in comments count counter and buttons.

versions you may have installed, please save them prior to updating to 1.1.0.
