I have to ask, who are the people who are defining everything that displeases them as "harassment?"

This accusation gets thrown out a lot and I find it kind of silly because the persons who are allegedly doing this are almost never named. Instead, this is almost always used to group together everyone on one or the other side of a debate into a straw man. I think any time you are raising this type of claim you ought to name the people who are defining everything that displeases them as harassment. That way, we can identify those who are abusing the system and deal with them. When you instead simply assert that there is this broad group of people who are engaging in such misbehavior, it is no better than those who throw around similar labels from the other direction.
