    Trollism is an Ideology that idealizes the activities of trolls. Trollists not only accept the label troll but they are proud to "be a troll", they claim to be trolls. It's doubtful that this can be done without depriving the word troll of its essential meaning (negative judgement from a dictator or group perspective) or creating a logical paradoxon.

    Seen from the outside trollism concentrates on the valid points and positive effects of trolling and neglects its de(con)structive content. So it seems as a simplification. Sysopism and Trollism are two sides of the same coin: misuse of power.
