I found out that the term was invented by (who woulda thunkit) the DailyKos. They are such wonderful people there.
This website explains the term:
"Concern Troll (n): One who professes complete faith in the progressive cause, who deliberately works to destroy it by claiming falsely that our displays of courage and strength are actually a weakness."
Oh, I get it. Har.
Infantile bullying = 'courage' and 'strength'
As usual, and sadly enough, I have stumbled upon the problem's keystone - the "netroots" is being fuelled by the notion that self-inflicted wounds are 'strong' and temper-tantrums are 'courage'
