After skimming through Melissa's proposal, it appears that she put a lot of work into what should have really just been a suggestion for a feature.
To me, her proposal looked like someone who was new in tech trying to get something in her portfolio. However, the interesting aspect of this story, in my opinion, is the question of how should the show-runners of these relatively small websites be open to accepting feedback/suggestions but also not get accused of stealing IP.
Obviously the suggestion of it being a race related incident made it blow up more than it likely would have but it's still something that I worry about myself when it comes to someone giving me advice for my own personal projects.
