Whether others' behavior is 'right' or not is one moral question, but how you react to it is an independent one, and there's no good outcome from vitriol. Among other things is drives those on the other side of it to 'raise arms' in response, leading to an all-out culture war, and I'm pretty sure it's what got Trump selected.
There's some relief in the knowledge that it's way more prevalent on the internet than in real life, and most people just don't care that much. But the people most vocal on social media are also those most polarized so it _seems_ way more common than it is, which in turn sucks more people into it because they don't know otherwise.
