- Yes, we might also differentiate between ordinary trolling, heroic trolling and truly magnificent trolling! Trolls must have a hierarchy since there is a Lowest Troll!
w:User:Mark Richards's sarcastic comments on the technological escalation by the Chinese government against Wikipedia.
- "I presume that it was blocked for 'trolling'. - Mark"
- Why yes of course. And perhaps Wikipedia in Chinese is even somewhat heroic trolling, given that it allows wider opinions than the Chinese media do. But maybe they block Wikipedia because Wikipedia does not respect its own red faction or offer them a chance to displace Bomis, as they should. As surely as the Communists displaced the Nationalists in China, the wikipedia red faction will replace the usurpers of Bomis and end their Wikimedia corruption.
Trolls: A Social Movement claims that in 1999 the number of "active" trolls (defined as someone who starts or contributes to a troll more than 5 times a week, and engages in trolling not less than 3 hours per week) at any one time is estimated to be between 3000 and 5000 people, with the statistical sample size being representative of approximately 0.88% of the group. The number of people who engage in sporadic trolling is estimated at approximately 100 times the number of "active" trolls.
Five years later, and with Wikimedia corruption and other troll-formative injustice going on, that number has to be much higher.
