A good universal moral, and a good thing to always check yourself against, is "never punch down".

Which is not to say "never punch". But punching down is most of the punching that people do.

They do, indeed. I think it often has to do with the people who should be getting punched successfully scaring people into punching down instead of up, because the people with the power have no hesitation in punching down at anything they think of as a threat.
