    The New Troll point of view is that the neutral point of view isn't, and has systemic bias, that can only be fixed by piling in legions of trolls of the opposite view. It is a warlike view of what knowledge is - which is appropriate, as knowledge is power and that only leads to warfare.

    Accordingly new trolls always assume that repute is either zero, or negative, and enter large public wikis with the intent of working quietly until they are harassed and excluded by those who believe in positive repute, typically those in the sysop power structure, or who believe that control or manipulation of technology, typically by developers, implies morality.

    The Lowest Troll is whatever troll consistently favours the New Troll over the most trusted longstanding user. Empowering this troll is the only way to prevent an insider culture from eventually destroying a large public wiki, as there is thus no advantage whatsoever to those who suck up to power. This is the most troll-friendly of the wiki best practices.
