I honestly feel this is kind of a lost battle. I don't know what tumblr is (is it some iphone thing like Whatsapp? I don't have an iphone <_<; *looks at her pitifully old non-android smartphone* ), so I'm not sure what kind of behaviour you are talking about.
But, I do know the internet. And I think what you are asking/telling these people is of the same flavor as "if you are rude to living people on the internet, then you shouldn't stay in real life". People will act the conventional, polite way where it is required (real life/RPC *most of the time* ), and go all out where they can go all out (internet/tumblr? ). We all wish people weren't trolls or dicks on the internet and behaved as much as they did in real life, but sadly where there will be no rules, they will not be forced to keep an etiquette.
Some sites are extremely careful with membership behavior and will punish them accordingly (and sometimes too much. I have been permanently banned by the FFXIV Official Forums for posting a picture of bots with not-censored names, and for using the word "prick" once *eyeroll* ), some others (as I am guessing from your description, tumblr) will have not so much moderation and people will take it as a chance to let out all their constipated frustration and meanness (is it even a word?). I honestly doubt making threads to tell people to leave will bring any result. At most, I could see it fueling the opposite effect.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
