Look at that, right in your own paragraph there, you contradict yourself with the bolded. That's what is inherently wrong: you shouldn't call people out with zero backup.

If I said "Delgar is a dangerous sexual deviant who lusts after elderly ginger blowhards" with no evidence (other than my fertile imagination), how would you feel about that? After all, the real effect of random internet guy insulting another random internet guy is surely less than the president-elect calling someone incompetent at their job. Are you good with that, then? Can I come to your workplace and shout it out for all to enjoy?

There's a huge difference between "telling it like it is" and "telling it to make myself look good and others bad." You're not admiring his honesty, you're admiring his willingness to act out his emotions with shameless impunity, like a child does. He's the evil Peter Pan, choosing to never grow up, and the other children love it.
