That’s certainly a problem to watch out for along with other blatant abuses of power. In my experience though, that is rare and what is far more common is a situation that begins with someone being both critical and rude at the same time, and then descends into a downward spiral of people talking across each other - one group for whom the rudeness is the main issue and and one group for whom the criticism is the main issue. I often see those in the latter group interpreting any admonishment for the rudeness as targeting for being critical and therefore an abuse of power.
