If the idea was to humiliate, I wouldn't have used a euphemism.

Aside from that, whether private communications on this sort of thing
are more or less effective is an open question. One fires off one's
comment and hopes for the best. Doing it publicly means it acts as a
reminder to other people as well, which may or may not be useful in the
grand scheme of things.
