JUDGEMENT: VALID.

STYLE: As Joshua is not Far too Righteous and Conceited, it's possible
this rule has positive style.  Then again, it's possible it doesn't.
It seems more appropriate to a "Cultural Revolution" theme than one of
"Slander and Libel!", and the restriction is, I'm afraid, less than
inspired.  0.0.
