many of the people labeled "trolls" on WP aren't "trolls"
in the classic sense because they really believe in the positions that

You mean like Martin Luther King, Jr. was?
If your fighting real life oppression then sometimes taking "no" for
an answer is noble and the right thing to do. If you're trying to get
your way on a website then it rarely ever is and can be
counterproductive to your position. "Nobody likes listening to dicks
no matter how right they are".
