The basic 'be nice and have respect for the travails and mortality of your fellow humans' norm is, I think, what you are talking about. Just as the libel laws are relaxed for 'public figures,' I think this norm must be relaxed, for cause, in some cases of public assholes. I would try to draw the line at hate, the emotional lust to inflict physical harm. That should always be minimized, not indulged.
BTW, thanks for the kind words. I in turn respect you as a person of knowledge and thought. With a blind spot or two, of course, but all are prone to those....
