Did anyone think in this board there is no such word as detractor? There is. It means derogator.

I think this is actually the word that the moderator in this board often refers to when he uses the word distractor. To distract is to divert attention from or to confuse. When the syntax is verb, to use distract or detract is appropriate. But using it as a noun or predicate nominative and adjective, distractor is quite colloquial or downright wrong. Detractor is apt and correct.
