My complaint about MAD (mildly off-topic)

Could someone do a study comparing the number of 'hits' these things generate, and compare to patriarchal blessings?

I'd love to see someone create a "Patriarchal Blessing Generator". That would be too funny.

Good point. Given the number of bullseyes here, I'm constantly asking myself, "how could the complaint generator have known?"

Case in point:

If you are one of the few who has never been presented with evidence that Juliann ******** plans to take the focus off the real issues, then be glad that the task to educate yourself has just become easy. With this letter, I compile all of the necessary evidence into one easy-to-read document... She spews out her vituperative slander from a safe, no-risk forum, and if you don't believe me, then you should respond to her philippics... someone once said to me, "Nothing makes my blood boil more than seeing Juliann infantilize and corrupt the public." This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it since. Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: Juliann ******** is afraid of change.

Yikes, the engine generates a lot of vehement stuff:

I could unquestionably do without Bishop P's throat-cutting rampages. Sad, but true. And it'll only get worse if Bishop P finds a way to gum up what were once great ideas. Bishop P is planning to view countries and the people that live in them either as economic targets to be exploited or as military targets to be defeated. This does not bode well for the future, because I myself aver that people are hungry for true information and for a way to work together for justice in every community. And here, I assert, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in his obloquies. And that's it. The thought that someone, somewhere, might grant people the freedom to pursue any endeavor they deem fitting to their skills, talent, and interest is anathema to Bishop D C P.

Wow. It came up with "thoat-cutting." Eerie.

Also, use of the word "phillipics" should be encouraged in general...

Dude where have you been?, when was the last time you've read yours? Do they sound any different from each other?

Well, how about it, software-literate people? I think a patriarchal blessing generator would be extremely popular. All we have to do is gather up some samples. I'd volunteer mine, but I've never had one.

You know, if FARMS got together with the BYU computer science department, they could build some A.I. into such a software engine that upon answering twenty or so questions, they could easily generate reviews of literally thousands of books, articles and Letters to the Editor critical of the Church. Perhaps they could even build in a Pahoran mode when an extra strong response is desired.
