But I can't recall him ever firing the first salvos in a public forum. And when he did, it was always uphill. If he put someone on blast publicly, it would be the front office. And even then he wouldn't say "Man, my 2b sucks shit" it would be quite a bit more nuanced than that.

that’s the way I remember it too. Player said something publicly, Larussa responded in kind.
I’m sure he lit players up behind the scenes. I’m okay with that. Publicly is a totally different animal.
