I don't think it is a valid excuse to say OTI and IRL.
The internet IS real life. We are all on the internet, most of it ALL day. Internet "trolls" are no different from everyday assholes, except that people are frustrated by not being able to see who's being an asshole to them, and possibly pick up a few visual clues about whether this trolling is just a joke.
If you are an asshole on the internet is is not a big leap to say you're probably a bit of an asshole in real life, and it is reasonable to expect real life consequences for your actions over the internet.
The clip in today's show of the cop being wound up during his COD game illustrates all these points IMO.
