Exactly. Opinionated min-maxers and rules-lawyers are overwhelmingly abundant. If you emo the game by being the best possible, that's fine....but if someone wants to make a gnome enchanter, an erudite necro, a ranger, etc. keep your opinion to yourself. It's one thing to politely suggest something (hey, you know a Necro really could benefit from that regen), but it's another thing to force your min-maxing on others.
I don't know, I think it's fine to offer your opinion, but it's obviously not true that a SK is "useless". If you're just getting into the game and don't have twink options an SK is the best tank you could play besides paladin. It's easy aggro control that doesn't require a bunch of starting cash to power up, and groups will form around you. You also get a lot of tricks that are incredibly useful to have (like snare pulling).

Like I've said, I get that if you have multiple 60s, can easily afford twink gear, and your idea of playing the game is training in Veeshan's Peak, you might think an SK is no good. (Rangers get similar levels of hate, despite being useful in small group utility/dps/offtank roles.) But the lower level pug game and journey to 60 is a way different story. People who make the "SK is useless" plug generally have multiple 60s and a large amount of plat for twinks, in which case sure, roll a monk and PL your way to the Temple of Veeshan.
