It's definitely not a mature response; I don't feel the righteous fury about these kinds of things that I did 20 years ago. As to whether it's appropriate... social opprobrium can often be a less worse way to deal with a problem than ignoring it or going to the law. And it could be positive; when someone dislikes how a person is behaving, they tend to form a caricature of that person. By confronting them, they're forced to deal with a real person who will defend their behavior, and it tends to replace that caricature with a more nuanced view.
