I don't understand how you can parse my sentence and think that the object being demonized is either me or farmers. Yes, neonics are being demonized.

They don't think that. They're saying that your use of the term 'demonization' is over-dramatic and unhelpful.

The word "demonization" is an apt description of the rhetoric being applied to this topic.
