Will someone please troll this reviewer?

Notice how nobody on #soctwitter calls Kramer out for this.
This is really troubling. ITT, it took only a few minutes for up for someone to call him out.
Maybe I'm just too green in my career to be cynical, but I take the publishing process seriously and put a lot of thought and energy into what my reviewers have to say. I don't always agree, but I have come to value "tough love" approaches when it's justified - and they go the extra mile to make you feel like a moron about mistakes and weaknesses so you don't ever forget. (It feels *horrible* but those always turn out to be my best papers.)
Therefore, RK's actions and soc twitter's response are pretty galling, especially to think about other reviewers doing this. A part of me is tempted to make a fake account and tweet clause 16.B of the ASA Ethical Standards.

^ You'd think so, but as bdad alluded to, "woke" sociology can do whatever the hell they want without repercussions. This includes, but is not limited to, getting into twitter arguments with 16 year olds whose mother a sociologist continued to insult or publicly talking crap and asking for help owning someone whose paper you don't like. And if you object to this objectively bad behavior, you're either a.) a SJMR troll b.) racist c.) sexist or d.) all of the above.

^ I wouldn't call that trolling. I would call it virtue-signalling, while attempting to enlist people to pile-one, while displaying intellectual laziness and ineptitude, while violating the rules of blind review. The author of the paper may never see the tweet, which would be a requirement for them to be trolled.
Aside from this, and on the more general issue, I think that trolling can sometimes be happening in multiple directions simultaneously.
