I'm applying real world morality to the internet. Would you have said this face-to-face? Maybe you would have, but you would have been a jerk for doing so. Like a lot of people on the internet, you're hiding behind "I was just giving my opinion".

Thank goodness you're here to make sure people don't get too puffed up with themselves. Good job, put them in their place!
When it comes to art, a critique does not just mean your opinion. It's like how "theory" is different to a scientist than it is to a layperson. When you take an art class you learn how to properly give and receive critiques. It's why DA built an entire critique-system for when artists actually want to be critiqued.
If you had said something like:
- This didn't have elements x, y and z I usually find in your work.
- The proportions of ABC are off
Or yes, even:
- That joint looks a little weird.
Those are all critiques. The artist may have even thanked you
if they were looking to be critiqued in the first place. You're giving the artist an idea of what they can do to improve. Not just "This is no good, do better".
Was the artist thin-skinned? Yes. Were you being a jerk? Yes. Stop casting yourself as the victim here. You were trollin' and got put on ignore. Then you posted here looking for sympathy? Sounds like you're thin-skinned too.
