By punching down i mean someone, very publically ridiculing another for their physical differences. All to get power points from his fans.
Does this sound like anyone recently?
He did not (punch down) because the (different) man was an arsehole. He punched down because the man in a position of power was the arsehole.

I know you know of which I speak, this is what I mean by the term "punching down".

So, is it ok for someone to punch down?

Calling someone a liar is not within propriety.
