As long as they don't insult people personally then they're not an asshole in my book.

Attacking ideas is one, attacking people behind those ideas is another.

Not entirely though: if you are attacking coworkers just for being wrong that is asshole. If you are holding the top of the pyramid accountable for their illegal immoral wrong "ideas" then that is a level of correct that the world needs way more of

I agree, but not everyone sees it that way. People project themselves onto their ideas. It helps to consider that, sometimes.
