It's inevitable that's such tools will become available and be used by people who lack the ethics to use them. What can we say? I don't see any way to prevent the harm that will be done.
Too late, the idea is out there and so someone will make it before too long. And as pointed out, if it's doable out in the public domain as a personal free-time project, then government agencies almost certainly have been doing it for years.
The grammar-obfuscator project idea is a great one, it'd be interesting to see how people would approach it.

Such a tool is open and ripe for abuse. Then again, maybe a less anonymous internet will make people more accountable for their actions.
