I think the blogger on the link would probably agree... I don't see that they're saying the virtual hat or the virtual word of mouth is a bad thing, but that some people are (for example), turning their icon a certain color out of "solidarity" and then really not doing anything else beyond that.
Another thing that comes to mind is the now infamous "post your bra color" on FB that made the rounds, but also was hurtful to some breast cancer survivors who felt it backfired terribly.
