Disagreeing with someone else's point of view (as long as it's done in a right manner and with consideration and in a holistic manner) isn't inappropriate behaviour.
Disagreeing with someone's assertion that green is the best colour is fine, but taking the mickey out of them for spelling it wrong when they have declared that they have dyslexia isn't. Disagreeing with everything that they say as a form of harrassment in a gratuitously nasty, snide, sarcastic way (in the same way as has been done countless times) isn't. Mocking someone known to have dementia who says the same thing twice in error isn't.

May I just add that if someone makes (empty) threats about taking legal action against people who call out daft things they say then isn't fine either, whatever excuse the person uses for saying the daft things.
