Ignoring the "Shakespeare Doubters" 
will not make them go away.(s.Video below).

Increasingly Shakespeare Academics have started to employ the term "Anti-Shakespearean" (=NON-Stratfordians) for those who harbor  doubts about  the rationale, that the author of Hamlet                                                             is not the Author of HAMLET

Clearly the term "Anti-Shakespeareans" is misleading and suggests that doubters dislike Shakespeare. Quite the opposite is true: they are higly interested in  the works and their writer. But also the traditional term 
    "Anti-Stratfordian" is unnecessarily contentious.... 

....the more neutral term "Non-Stratfordian" is preferred-

Frank Guenther,(1947-2020) todays most renowned German translator of Shakespeare's works in his book "Our Shakespeare" (2014) calls  those who do not recognize the Stratford-Man as the author of Shakespeare's plays "Anti-Shakespeareans".- 

One can assume with some certainty that our linguistically most proficient german translator has done this deliberately to disguise its baroque falsifying polemics. 
By the term "Anti-Shakespeareans" someone is defamed in the first place, 
because he takes a stand against  Shakespeare. -

To speak out against a business man from Stratford, which had to be chosen as a masking person for life rescue of  the great poet, Günther well knows to put to a stop. He clearly uses  this "language imprecision"  strategically:  

Only a philistine can have something against Shakespeare! Who would want to be a philistine? The clarifying term "Anti-Stratfordian" Günther fears  like the devil  the holy water in order to disguise or getting around the legitimate authorship problem, he has never tried to understand. -

We should   reject attempts to reframe “Non-Stratfordians” as “Anti-Shakespeareans.”
