What word would you use then? Nearly every thread about iatrogenesis gets shut down after a hand full of people disrupt it with ad hominem remarks. "Troll" is a widely used internet word for heckling. And while we're at it, being prescriptive with one another, as well as parsing language, is one of the problems too.
Thanks for this!
