-Attitudes to '''troll vandalism''' ([[group vandalism]] by [[trolls]] to counter [[sysop vandalism]] or to advance a [[POV]] that they believe is underrepresented by some [[systemic bias]] in [[neutral point of view]]) vary as much as attitudes to [[w:terrorism]] or [[w:insurgent]] activities.
+Attitudes to '''troll vandalism''' ([[group vandalism]] by [[trolls]] to counter [[sysop vandalism]] or to advance a [[POV]] that they believe is underrepresented by some [[systemic bias]] in [[neutral point of view]]) vary much. Contact your local [[cabal]] for more on this.
-== are sysops trolls? ==
-One major question is whether [[sysop vandalism]] is actually '''troll vandalism''' - whether [[sysops are trolls]] or (as claimed in [[New Troll point of view]]) the sysops' use of [[technological escalation]] makes them deserve what they get and denies them the protections that [[trolls]] deserve.
-The [[Sysop Vandal point of view]] is that '''troll vandalism''' is just [[group vandalism]] and (of course) that [[sysop]]s cannot be [[vandal]]s simply for opposing it even with [[technological escalation]].  See [[Recyclopedia]] and [[SOLLOG]] for typically controversial cases where these distinctions are at issue.
-== use of technological escalation ==
-In the [[SOLLOG]] case, it is not clear if [[wikipediasucks.com]] actually has engaged in [[vandalbot]] design or other [[technological escalation]].  If his then the pro-SOLLOG forces have become their own [[sysop power structure]] and their struggle with the sysops is no longer a [[troll-sysop struggle]] nor a [[troll war]] between those with [[equal power relationship]]s, but rather, a simple [[arms race]] between two groups using [[sysop vandalism]].  In that case, neither would be any morally superior to the other, they would just be two groups using different technology, at the same moral level.
 Probably how one views this depends on your [[faction]].
