I've been guilty; but more along the lines of debating calling someone out for being a &@#%ing homo douche bag with a close-minded & shallow point of view on music/economics/life then realizing I don't really care enough to put that much effort into it. Now, I just kind of read post and tell my wife what a dipcrap these particular people are. I'd probably call them out in person... If I knew them; but nothing more than a blanket "you're a douchebag" statement. So I don't think it has anything to do with a conscience.
