That's the way I saw it on usenet. An honest detractor would have a non-troll posting history in the group in question or at least in other groups. A troll drops out of the sky and starts flaming people.
They don't even have to be a troll. Anyone who joins a new group and immediately starts criticising and telling the group they've got it all wrong is going to be rejected - whether they're right or wrong. Nothing to do with groupthink, it's just normal behaviour.
