I agree.. and there HAVE been legal cases (not necessarily related to cycling) where thoughts/comments posted to social networking sites have been used as evidence... honestly if was ever hit or something that's one of the first things I'd be asking to be investigated (of course I say that, and I was hit as a pedestrian a little over 10 years ago, and I just let it go, even though I probably shouldn't have, and if it were to happen today, I certainly wouldn't now.. but I'm not as naive to the world as I was then).

I think we ALL know people who will say to our faces "you know, I don't mind that YOU ride your bike, but I can't stand all of those other people who think they own the road" - it's very frustrating and 99% of those comments are based on ignorance and inconsideration. I hate admitting that I have people who say those things within my own family, but at the same time I don't see any them doing anything to try to harm a cyclist, even if they "don't" like them on the road. So I don't think that attitudes/comments always go along with actions.
