I have one, but it is in the developmental stages. When I release it, it will be GNU licensed so you will be free to download it. As I have developed it as a research tool, it reflects decisions about phrases common to this site, so if you use it, it will be well tuned to this site. I've found little difficulty in classifying isolated phrases, but I have encountered some problems characterizing reasons similar statements are treated one way one time and another way other times. I'm working on secondary algorithms that could measure the extent to which such decisions might be based on member standing or participation, but I have yet found no basis for a standard I can describe in terms that can be compiled into machine language.
