Good point. I think that is a often overlooked observation. People incited often have a tendency to invite an onrush of thoughts with a desire to express them in direct proportion to their "excitability factor". When a character limit is imposed, their tweet may as well be an empty beer bottle hurled towards their target.
IMO, why one becomes incited in the first place comes from the drunken sense of control one feels when all they think they are revealing is their gravatar/profile. However, it is relatively easy to reciprocate with a "herd agenda" of one's own and launch an attack without the need to extract any real facts to damage the target's reputation.
If I were to insult an individual in front of a group all physically present, I would most likely be doing so in a way that the "herd" clearly understands my message rather than the target. I have always despised this type of thinking as many do, yet it has become increasingly popular.
