== used for framing == Sometimes this is a symptom of [[moral poltiics]] or [[deep framing]] or [[politics as usual]]. For example, where others of low moral or bodily integrity might use any of the many definitions for ''community''[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=community], the troll might insist that the word means ''only'' "those who share a risk of bodily harm", and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. The [[political dispute]] about the appropriate definition of a community, e.g. [[epistemic community]], is in effect curtailed by a reference to [[trollish]] itself. Under [[sysopism]], this would be seen as making meaningful communication difficult or impossible. Since [[sysop vandalism]] relies on an arbitrary definition of a "community" that the sysops "protect", it is important that they retain control of its borders. [[Trollism]] rejects this, but so do many ordinary [[faction]]s concerned with the impact of online information and decisions on the real world. The aim of this kind of tactic is unclear to those who use language in an undisciplined way. Like much that [[trolls]] do, it has the effect of increasing discord among those who insist on the fuzzy or ambiguous meaning, and who seek to retain power for themselves: It is quite common also for sysops to insist that a word or phraser has a certain threatening meaning also, and use this to exclude those they dislike - that they label "[[trolls]]". This is probably the origin of the tactic. If [[sysops are trolls]] then it is reasonable to consider this a trolling tactic, else it is simply [[politics as usual]].
