The corrections I find the most frustrating are the ones that attempt to frame something that is reasonably a difference of opinion as a black/white, right/wrong issue.

A made up example using something that is about as subjective as possible: No, that's wrong, strawberries are awful.

(just changing that to "I disagree, ..." gets rid of a lot of the nonsense)

There also ends up being a lot of what is essentially squabbling, comments going back and forth over what someone meant, or pedantically squishing some point that had done a good enough job of transmitting the idea (I'm all for being careful when it matters, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter all the time).
