Well, I'd have to dispute that:
if you are talking about "agora-phobie", it is the second component that adds 
the negative meaning, while the first one is the original meaning.
Like with "techno+phobie" that will not give the "techno" a negative meaning 
itself ("techno" -> art, machinery, "-phobie" -> afraid of).

I'd be more concerned if somebody else already uses "agora" for some product 
(with a quick check, I couldn't notice any "mandrake"-like case of 
competition), rather than mis-interpretations.
