'''Text liberation''' is the [[free circulation of fiction]] subject only to one's own self-chosen [[repute]] and [[trust]] constraints. It cannot ever be reconciled with [[sysop vandalism]] or some [[priestly hierarchy]] that uses its [[technological escalation|control of technology and domain names to also control information]]. [[AlterNIC]] and [[Wikipedia Red Faction]] are or were two attempts to achieve text liberation, of [[TLD]] and [[GFDL corpus]] respectively. It continues via various [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s. | '''Text liberation''' is the [[free circulation of fiction]] subject only to one's own self-chosen [[repute]] and [[trust]] constraints.

These link-backs would not be required to satisfy [[attribution]] requirements if [[Wikipedia]] actually exported the names of five primary authors as the [[GFDL]] itself requires. So a refusal to meet GFDL's actual terms, which would require export of those five names in '''''any''''' printed or exported version, is used as a shallow excuse to demand concessions from others that makes [[Wikipedia]] the central [[GFDL corpus access provider]]. It is actually hard to imagine a better example of corruption. It is no coincidence that [[Daniel Mayer]] writes those demanding letters, either. | ||

'''Troll text''' is text that has been specifically useful in [[troll-sysop struggle]] to justify continued resistance to [[sysop power structure]]. In other words, anyone ("[[troll-friendlies]]") who actually repeats or restores any of it automatically will be regarded "as a [[troll]]" with whatever [[stigma]] or [[honour]] that implies. This text is heavily scrutinized and tends to be very well vetted - because so many people who spend all their time editing tend to focus on it and try to find fault with it. It is thus usually the most reliable text in any [[large public wiki]] and has gone through more evolution under more pressure. | '''Troll text''' is text that has been specifically useful in [[troll-sysop struggle]] to justify continued resistance to [[sysop power structure]].
