What is wrong with the term "truther"? How did the community get divided and repulsed by this term? I know there are some wacky ideas, but it need not destroy the whole movement. Old history I guess, but I completely missed that chapter.

It is traced to the 911 Truth movement, ultimately. Truthers came into the mainstream with the release of documentarys like Loose Change in 2005. This put the establishment in a difficult position. They were already facing alot of criticism over the War on Terror, and the claims of a 9/11 False Flag seemed to amplify the anti-war movement. The establishment scrambled to undermine the 911 Truthers, and one of the ways they did this was by stigmatising that label.
