While I understand the point you're making, as long as there is a way to deliver criticism while being an asshole and a way to deliver criticism without being an asshole, people who choose the former route are assholes.
I also agree that assholes certainly don't have to apologize, as long as you agree that we're free to carry on considering them assholes.

But yes, it is, and yes, you absolutely are. I am a strong proponent of calling out assholes when they're being assholes; myself included.

I guess you can brand anyone who does that with the world Asshole in scarlet, but do you never mock anything? I'd personally reserve the label for people that either deliberately hurt others or don't care about feelings at all.
