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.
Exactly; I get this all the time when I go into a group and try to beat the heck out of their nostalgic groupthink masturbation. I'm also guilty of groupthink in some instances, though. I guess it's human nature.

I think that's what we call "a hiccup in diplomacy." You catch more flies with honey than Uzis.
