That is indeed a terrible litmus test, and also just a terrible idea. It's her choice whether to call them out or not, but it sounds like her not calling them out is both better for her and your fandom community. No one needs that drama and nastiness, and if currently the only bitchiness that is going on is by socks, then she's lucky. She (and her friends if she gives permission) should call out any overt nastiness that is posted directly to her, if that's what she wants to do - but leave the lurkers and socks alone, otherwise you'll end up looking as crazy and overinvested as they are.

Listen to what the anon above has to say. There's a reason your friend isn't calling people out, it usually causes more drama than what its worth. I've seen call out situations go bad where people get called out, they bring their friends into it, or maybe sometimes friends who are on both sides get caught in the middle, wank ensues, fights, drama, fandom gets split into who takes whose side, etc etc. It's not worth it, and the fact that your friend seems to have implemented a 'no call out' policy would suggest she's the bigger person for it. I must say, you have a weird way of wanting to help a friend. If you really want to help her, just be there for her as a listening post when one of these socks or passive aggressives do come at her so she can blow off some steam and move on.
