So it appears some of you really don't want us to use the word 'hacker' when we really mean 'criminal'

Sort of. The Jargon File is the document that Guy Steele sold as "The Hacker's Dictionary"l Eric Raymond later revised it and sold it as "The New HAcker;s Dictionary". I've given some thought to selling another version called (provisionally) "The Latest New Hackers Dictionary", in two bundled together volumes: One that is a continuation of the series, and another that is sanitized for the social justice and cancel culture sets. Somehow I doubt they'd get the joke.
