Editing Troll pride

'''Troll pride''' is refusal to cooperate with [[sysop power structure]]:  "our cooperation is not-cooperation and a necessary mirror to your ridiculous expectations of behaviour."  [[Trollist]] advocacy often makes reference to it.

The [[trolletariat]] is the projection of [[class struggle]] into [[large public wiki]]s.  [[Troll organizations]] such as the [[Wikipedia Red Faction]] may assert this as rationale or resistance to the "[[neutral point of view]]".  Where a [[priestly hierarchy]] or [[GodKing]] rules, this is wholly appropriate.

By contrast, the [[New Troll point of view]] is progressive and demands consideration and standing for newcomers above current participants, even the [[infrastructure owners trust|most trusted]] ones.  However it does not demand total disenfranchising of [[sysop power structure]], simply puts them in the service of [[trolls]].

Elements of troll pride include:
*refusal to [[use real names]] or participate in [[outing]] of those who don't
*refusal to acquire positive [[repute]], typically by constantly shifting user names, and making ugly noises at those who compliment them or attempt to flatter them
*defense of other trolls, to advance the [[New Troll point of view]] everywhere
*identifying key anti-troll figures and documenting their [[Wikimedia corruption|corrupt practices]], e.g. [[sysop vandalism]], [[sysop vigilantiism]], [[developer vigilantiism]], [[libel]]

A '''troll pride''' could also, in the sense of a "lion pride", be taken to be a small familiar unit of trolls, which [[patroll]] roughly the same home range ([[IP range]]).
