Passive-aggressive Facebook statuses

I get the need to talk to someone about what is bothering you. No one should just hold in their anger, but to direct something to one person, in front of hundreds of others? Isn't that calling them out for a public shaming?

Take this status for example: "Some people never mind their own business."

Would you shout that out to someone else, from across a fairly quiet room? You're leaving the other person feeling so vulnerable, and most likely the crowd around you is merely thinking, "Uh oh, drama!". 

 
There's a veil around us on the internet, as other people can't see our faces, cannot hear our voices shake. Surely we wouldn't say half of what we say here, online, to people's faces?
