this is a very personal project for me. The background is captured in: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-chrome-extensions/issues/10 And while I don't currently have the time to write code for it. I want to make it happen ASAP because it will solve a real human challenge and make the world a better place.

The most important thing about this project is not just "blocking" me/you/us from posting offensive comments out of our "naivety" or lack of empathy... The important bit is the UX and learning around it! Specifically: when you are attempting to write a comment and the plugin "spots" that you have some copy that is even remotely going to cause offence, it should alert() you to this and explain why the words might be hurtful and who you might (will) offend. so this kind of thing can be avoided: https://github.com/dwyl/goodparts/issues/12

So, the UX around informing people exactly what part of their words are offensive is the hard/interesting part which we need to get to and solve as soon as possible!
