This is kind of different to the way the term 'troll' has been used before isn't it? As far as I can see, this is an attempt by an advocacy group to get their point of view to dominate certain articles - my understanding was that we were using the term 'troll' to mean users who post to deliberately stir up controversy. This highlights the fine line between points of view we disagree with (and how to integrate them into articles while maintaining an NPOV) and users who have nothing to add except conflict. Mark
