If someone says something batshit, I won't hesitate to call that person a nutbag, or something similar. Even if that person is a personal friend. If someone says something stupid, I won't hesitate to call that person a dumb shit. Even if that person is a personal friend. Etc. I think you get my point.
I'm certainly not going to refrain from doing so if that person is some random stranger on the internet. If that person takes offense, I won't hesitate to make fun of that person for doing so. The same goes for someone being an ass.
In none of those cases will anyone convince me I should have acted otherwise. But to simply attack someone because they hold a different view is uncalled for. Let them earn the venom first... then let them have it.
