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?
Frank@fbara
@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.
Andrei Oprisan@andreioprisan
@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?
Andrei Oprisan@andreioprisan
@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?

@andreioprisan I didn't reply to your first comment because I didn't want to engage in an Internet-based debate. They never end well. I think our approach to how we treat members of society who have reached celebrity status is wrong, both in the way we worship them and also - like in this case - the way we mistreat them online. I don't see this product as … See more

@avizuber Public exposure for those in the public spotlight by virtue of their own choice to be in that situation (e.g. giving a voluntary speech to support your husband to the highest public office in the US) is acceptable and expected. The fact that you're treating her as a celebrity instead of someone in the public office light by virtue of her stature is… See more

@andreioprisan Let's put aside the fact that you're a bit of a jerk to claim I'm trolling or 'basking in hypocrisy' without knowing anything about me or the fact that I've been participating in PH for years. Every political figure 'borrows' from everyone else and to call-out a single person, who's not a politician and didn't even write the speech she gave, … See more

@fbara I simply asked you to provide citations to your claims, not throw around hyperbole of "dozens of sites listing politicians in both parties using the words of others without proper credit." Please, help us understand what those sites are, help us correct them and help expose those politicians as well, to have a more fair and honest system that works fo… See more
