for what purpose would someone be called an asshole in this context? |
Lots of possible reasons. Two off the top of my head would be to,
1.) Make the person calling the other person an asshole feel a little better.
2.) Call out what the perceive to be bad behavior in the hopes of discouraging such behavior in the future.
#2 is not censorship.
People can say whatever they want. They're not entitled to good publicity though.
