To be completely fair, a more private message (like allowing /tells in instances for example) is probably a bit more ideal than calling someone out in front of a group of people. Calling someone out in party/alliance chat is more than likely going to put someone on the defensive rather quickly. A more personal approach might defuse a situation or keep a situation from occurring at all. If I had the choice between calling someone out in front of others or messaging them privately I would always choose /tells.
