I see a mix. Yes, there is a lot of bravado. But there's a lot of trained realists. And the trained realists who are regulars on those boards tend to get listened to. Those have said the first thing to to is avoid making your family or your self a target. Next is to get family and your self out of the danger area. Lastly, if you can't escape, engage the attacker.

So, the initial responses are often chest thumping, followed by rational responses. But you usually have to read past the first half dozen responses to get to those.
