Like kicking a hornets nest or someone when they are dead.

To create social networking suicide
To be selfish and evil to other human beings

Background: this originates from Sumner Burstyn's disgraceful remarks on her facebook page with sparked hate pages after her comment about a recently fallen NZ Soldier.

Barbara Sumner-Burstyn posted the comments on Facebook, apparently after reading reports of 26-year-old Lance Cpl. Jacinda Baker's death in Afghanistan.
"Oh so fallen soldier Jacinda Baker liked boxing and baking - did they forget she also like invading countries we are not at war with, killing innocent people and had no moral compass," Sumner-Burstyn wrote.

This whole event saw unprecedednted response and a facebook created generated 25,000 members in 24 hours.

Sumner Burstyn has become one of New Zealand's most reviled people and has had to change her name for the 8th time.
