Is it so ridiculous to single someone out? If perhaps people didn't so quickly and easily open their mouths the world would be much better off.

Suppose we restrict the outcomes of him being called out to two possible scenarios:

1. He becomes offended, writes a retort, etc. Both he and the writer are filled with indignation. 2. Laughs it off as he knows much of what he said is correct though sees from the writers point-of-view what he was getting at. Both are improved as long as the writer himself does not take the feelings attached to scenario 1, that being of maliciousness/anger or rather someone giving in to being controlled by dumb emotions.

Personally I have quite little faith/trust in people who become wild upon hearing the slightest possible insult or whatever. It's like people who give in to 'road rage' yet the next day themselves has a small lapse of judgement. I think what I'm trying to say is, who cares or in an even more vulgar term, 'haters gonna hate.' :P I would prefer it if we all were held more accountable to what we said and those who think and act intelligently have near-nothing to worry about yet those who act based on silly ideas and superstitions will forever be in fear of being called out.

And, I associate tact and similar concepts with when talking so I can agree that it's not always appropriate for public comments.
