Editing Troll pride

'''Troll pride''' is refusal to cooperate with [[sysop power structure]]:  "our cooperation is not-cooperation and a necessary mirror to your ridiculous expectations of behaviour."  [[Trollist]] advocacy often makes reference to it.

The [[trolletariat]] is the projection of [[class struggle]] into [[large public wiki]]s.  [[Troll organizations]] such as the [[Wikipedia Red Faction]] may assert this as rationale or resistance to the "[[neutral point of view]]".  Where a [[priestly hierarchy]] or [[GodKing]] rules, this is wholly appropriate.

By contrast, the [[New Troll point of view]] is progressive and demands consideration and standing for newcomers above current participants, even the [[infrastructure owners trust|most trusted]] ones.  However it does not demand total disenfranchising of [[sysop power structure]], simply puts them in the service of [[trolls]].

Elements of troll pride include:
*refusal to [[use real names]] or participate in [[outing]] of those who don't
*refusal to acquire positive [[repute]], typically by constantly shifting user names, and making ugly noises at those who compliment them or attempt to flatter them or (most commonly) draw them into unfair practices that will only expose them to attacks, such as "arbitration" and "mediation" by the sysops
*defense of other trolls, to advance the [[New Troll point of view]] everywhere
*identifying key anti-troll figures and documenting their [[Wikimedia corruption|corrupt practices]], e.g. [[sysop vandalism]], [[sysop vigilantiism]], [[developer vigilantiism]], [[libel]]

A '''troll pride''' could also, in the sense of a "lion pride", be taken to be a small familiar unit of trolls, which [[patroll]] roughly the same home range ([[IP range]]).
