If you were to call him a maggot, more than a billion flies would demand an apology.
But it's not for his sake that I find this objectionable; he deserves far worse. It is something like my objection to capital punishment; it's not that the convicted don't deserve it, but what the punishment does to society.
Ridiculing him in this way, you demean yourself as well.
