Do trolls get insurance, too? Who do we define as a troll? Who is worthy of this kind of protection?

How much money are we talking though? As we all know, wikimedia ain't the richest organisation in the world, we are barely scraping by. And a solid legal defense can be very expensive.
The legal fees in question would probably simply amount to someone going through the paperwork to get a restraining order etc, small time stuff.
This fund sounds like a nice idea in theory, but it would need a lot of scoping first - exactly who is covered, to what extent, at whose discretion, for what period of time, etc. You're basically talking about Wikipedia becoming an unfunded insurance policy. Perhaps the people who are covered by it would have to chip in, say $20 a year or so?
