@rrhoover As an aside. I once wanted to make an app where you could falsely attribute quotes to yourself. If you got it on that site, "you were the origin" of the quote.
Posts like this are basically why I don't use Product Hunt even 5% as much as I used. I'm a maker here and really enthusiastic about tech, but I think shaming women by (somewhat trickily) calling them stupid isn't the right way to run a community about tech products. Like what is so awesome about this tech? Let me answer for you: nothing. Straight up, reading this thread, a lot of you think you're all modern and on the cutting edge but in reality you aren't any different than the rednecks talking about how Michelle Obama has a penis. Google it.
This is about hype at the expense of other people, both for PH and the maker. May as well be Gawker of products.
This is not technology, this is anti-technology.

@kurtybot no, we're calling one person a plagiarist and a liar for claiming that she wrote something that was clearly 1. lifted from Michelle Obama's speech and 2. written by her speech writer, not by herself "with as little help as possible." What is awesome about this tech is the ability to shed light as quickly as possible on the hypocrites and corrupt as far and wide as possible, which is what this accomplishes, without being mean spirited or calling anyone stupid. She wants to make claims on things she hasn't written, like her speech? Here are a few hundred other quotes she can make claims on, for everyone to enjoy.
Lighten up and loosen up on calling others rednecks. Us pointing out that she lies and posting the evidence for it, line by line, is not the same as people demeaning a women by body or other body part shaming. We get that you're a Trump supporter and love yourself some Trump ("I love me some Donald Trump"), and don't believe that anti-semitism is a thing, and want to turn this into something else, but please keep the trolling to CNN/Fox News comments section.
@kurtybot I agree with you and I'm I'm honestly amazed and shocked that not only would this be permitted by PH (who have a very aggressive track record of standing-up for woman) but that there's so any here who are posting their agreement and adding their own hate-filled comments.

@fbara@kurtybot what is even more surprising are the baseless accusations that you hurling and the lack of facts that you've presented with your diatribe. If you're not going to contribute anything objective, it's best you stop contributing here and save your suspended disbelief for something/somewhere you won't get called out publicly for your nonsense. And have a great day!
It seems wrong to make a product that publicly shames someone. This is coming from someone who in no way supports Trump.

@avizuber it's calling out plagiarism for what it is. In the real world, there are consequences for such actions. Are you saying no one should call out plagiarists?
Report
@andreioprisan Sure, but then let's make sure we call out everyone including Michelle Obama who "borrowed" parts of her speech during the Democratic convention. Once you start it will never end so let's just not start here, at least.

@fbara can you actually cite the claim that you just made or are you just trolling? If you can actually find such evidence, I will make that site/Chrome extension for you, to balance things out. If not, let this sit here for others to bask in your hypocrisy and judge your claims publicly.
@andreioprisan@avizuber so you think the right thing to do is publicly shame and call a woman stupid? do you consider yourself a gentleman?
Report
@kurtybot@avizuber I think the right thing to do publicly when your spouse runs for the highest public office in the US is open them up for scrutiny, scrutiny that they knew they were going to get, and thought they were going to get away with blatant plagiarism? I didn't call anyone stupid, I just called her a plagiarist and a liar, which is factual: she lied about her writing the speech "with as little help as possible" (http://www.today.com/news/melani...), which turned out to be a lie, as her speech writer wrote it and offered to resign (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/m...). Or you perhaps like for your public officials to plagiarize and lie when caught red-handed line by line for lifting entire passages for a speech? Because that's what gentlemen do, instead of helping expose them and keep them accountable..

Maybe developer could use shorter name for the extension, my suggestion would be:
'Copy & paste aka Melanie' 😜
