#7 You know, I've been thinking (yeah, I realize that's not necessarily a good thing)...

Purely in the interests of entertainment, I think it would be fun to scramble troll comments (i.e., thoroughly, randomly rearrange the words) rather than simply deleting them.

Leave troll's name alone; change any URL provided to something funny (like the Muffler Man or whatever); and take the entire text of the comment and scramble all the words around. Think of the possibilities.

I have no idea how to write a program that would do that; but I don't imagine it would be terribly difficult.

#11 There is a possible benny of a random word order generator. Antisense's postings could morph into something approaching thought.

#16 Maybe something that could replace the text in their comments with the output of a Markov Chain generator using their comment as an input string?
