Civil society offers better ways to articulate anger.
In general practice, rules of civil behavior are the same whether a person is speaking in a second or a third person voice.
Insults spoken privately are of questionable civic value. A person does not need to hear an insult to be insulted. Insults hurled publicly at an individual are little different from insults spoken directly to the person.
Polite society, and civil law, shuns insults spoken about a person as thouroughly as it shuns insults spoken to the person. If I write here that any person is an asshole, I slander the person.
