 I have to say that I don't see any sense in this article, but otoh who'd expect something to make sense in these times. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 21:15, 25 Jan 2005 (EET)
-:It matters mostly because, if sysops are trolls, then it is not a requirement for trolls to avoid [[technological escalation]], and so, such [[trolls nest]] tactics as [[SOLLOG]] [[POV warrior]]s use at [[wikipediasucks.com]] are fair game.  If sysops are not trolls, however, then the distinction between them ''must be'' this use of technology the other side doesn't have ([[vandalbot]], [[delete page]] and [[undelete page]]), and so true [[trolls]] would then be obligated not to use it, or else they'd drop to the moral level of sysops.  The distinction is a moral one, mostly:  Can trolls behave like sysops without becoming just as bad?
-:The distinction would clarify whether [[sysop vandalism]] is a subset of [[troll vandalism]], or if they are totally separate things that have a [[dialectic]] or tension with each other.
