Personally I never see these until so many others are so exasperated with the tripe contained therein that they respond, failing to detach the original. Eventually, almost without fail, it escalates into this ridiculous nonsense we see here today. There's little - nay, nothing - productive to be gained by the beatings. This all has precisely z-e-r-o amount of the desired effect on the perp, in fact quite the opposite appears to be the case. So everyone, please, just quit quit quit.
