I agree with you. The definition says an iconoclast is a "breaker or destroyer" and someone who "attacks". This should be a grim reminder to everyone that before we tear something down, we should build something up that can serve as a stable, suitable alternative.
Interesting! And no, I don't get the word of the day. I used to post back in the nineties with someone who had the username of Iconoclast. I thought it was kind of cool, but I don't know that it's something I would want to be known as!
