			The essay is a very useful snapshot from a [[New Troll point of view\|new troll]] who is obviously trolling us. Under [[soft security]] ideology he would be "harming the community" and it would be time for [[sysop vigilantiism]]. Thankfully here the established [[trolls]] should just troll back: "the best situation is where individuals can have bad reputations, but no one can ever have a good reputation." This is absolutely correct from the point of view of many established trolls.
