What's the difference between Windmill Political and Windmill Crusader?

Moved to Trope Talk.

Windmill Political is the supertrope of Windmill Crusader, the way I understand it. It's one of the types where the crusader actually believes in the threat, rather than using it as an excuse for whatever plot he's plannning.

The Windmill Crusader chases and fights the Windmill Political.

A Windmill Political is something that is mistaken by one person as a threat but either isn't or isn't that kind of threat at all. The Windmill Crusader is the person doing this mistaking.

Pardon the bump, but even after the forum move the trope page itself is still showing the TRS banner. Should it be, or is that in error?

It's because it's unlocked. When you move a thread out of IP or TRS, it stays on the Stale Report.

Does this need more discussion? Windmill Political is the threat/non-threat; Windmill Crusader is the person

Don't think there's any more discussion needed, given the half year the thread went untouched and the lack of consensus, prior to that last post before mine, that there's need for a change.

(Really, it's no skin off my back either way. Had I not been cleaning up B5 wicks, I'd probably not have even seen the trope page.)
