No, it wouldn't have been, but let's try that just so you're convinced.
ETA:
When someone, to the best of my knowledge, isn't practicing remotely close to what she preaches (and I've held silent on the first several times she preached this), and claims special insight on it, my obligation to point this out overrides most other obligations. That, and nothing else, motivates my comment.
ETA2: And before you suggest another brilliant idea like, "At least you should have kept this to PM": no, Alicorn's made pretty clear that's not an option either.
She's not necessarily failing to practice what she preaches.... after all, she never said that it's a good idea to like everyone, only that it's possible to like someone intentionally, and that this can be instrumentally useful in some circumstances. It's entirely possible, however, that she simply has no desire to like you - on purpose or otherwise.
