Nope. I'm gonna be honest here, based on what you've just posted, it seems to me that the thing that finally changed your perception was Karthik's negative reputation and subsequent private message conversation. In the offline real world, it works the same way. You have the right to open your mouth (or type on a keyboard) and say whatever you want, but in doing so you open yourself up to criticism. Creating a safe space where no one is allowed to tell each other when they're wrong stifles teaching and learning opportunities.

Clearly you've already learned something from this experience so I wont harp on it, but I think it would be better to "check yourself" before you make a post instead of doing so unfiltered and then deflecting the consequential criticisms.
