    A wiki witchhunt is a wiki idiom for an attempt to assign some alleged and collective identity. Here we do that with a faction, and it's civilized. On many large public wikis it is a silly sysop power structure game that reflects other power structure biases and idiocies.

    We basically hope it never happens here, but sadly our hopes have been dashed - new trolls whose trolling displeases those who have already attempted to establish their points of view already find themselves associated (quite against their will) with the Wikipedia power structure of sysop vandals, despite the lack of any proof beyond that of an amateur psychiatrist.

    Such issues in general should be discussed there not here! Almost all issues we can imagine that are relevant to wiki management and large public wikis have already been covered here, so, we don't need any more detail on that subject. Even the trolls are done ranting about it. For now!
