People aren't beating down Tailmon because she deserves it, they're beating down on Tailmon because they're bored. Tailmon gave people an opportunity by making a few bad posts and then made the mistake of emotionally reacting, thus she became punching bad of the month/week (however long these fads last).
So now a bunch of posters go through the routine of pretending <punching bag of the month> is the worst thing since sliced suck. Except no one can actually say <PBotW> is the worst poster ever, because that would be making them special and significant, so instead they have to be made of mediocre fail, which is actually the worst kind of fail.
Most of the jokes and negative comments are interchangeable. It's a boring situation to anyone who has seen the template enough to know it exists.
