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.
When I say safe place I do not mean neglecting the rep system. What I am saying is we should make sure students do not have their opinions shut down withoit real reason and the unnecessary reputation doesn't get thrown around.
