The way your post more or less conflates the need for a community, the need for 'positive thinking', and the need for self-deception feels like grade A Dark Arts to me, especially because you've managed to slip in a suggestion that there's something bad about condemning self-deception.
Your comment seems to me to unduly assume bad faith from the poster and may benefit from rephrasing.
If something presents a cognitive hazard, it is better to label it as such as unambiguously as possible.
That isn't what you did, though.
