Giving something a name doesn't automatically make it bad. Internet discussions (HN included) seem to mostly just be people who have no idea what they are talking about speculating wildly, and treating their speculations as unimpeachable. We would benefit a lot from a greater focus on providing sources and evidence.
The description of it as "harassment" is incomprehensible to me. Why post on a discussion board if you aren't willing to handle disagreement, and defend your claims?
TBH, if you want to convince me that someone who is disagreeing with you politely is acting in bad faith, you have an uphill battle.

Generally, it's pretty easy to tell if they're acting in bad faith if you look at their account/post history, especially on sites like twitter dot com.
