If that's the case, then the critic was wrong, not right, in choosing to voice his criticisms. Rightness of choice != correctness of fact.

Wrong in that the comment wasn't necessary, truthful AND kind, yes. But if the comment was in fact accurate (for example 'you totally screwed up that account and as a result it lost all that money') then the comment would be right. Just not doing any good.

Different definitions of "right". A fact may be correct (you screwed up) but the conclusion drawn (I should tell this person about this fact) can be wrong. As I use the word, "right" incorporates what SHOULD be (thus the phrases "right action" and "do the right thing").
