Calling out bad actors gives them an audience. Nine of your readers will agree that this person is a piece of shit but the tenth will think "hmm maybe there's some truth to this" and follow that bad actor. And that's how it propagates. No, nothing but blocks and silent treatment to people feeding on outrage.
