"Ironic" - what's your opinion and why?

"It is ironic that you criticise others but cannot take criticism yourself"

Is the use of the word "ironic" reasonable here or would another word or phrase be more appropriate? Looking around it would appear that there is a divided opinion on certain phrases, perhaps a cultural divide (eg British vs American vs Australian etc).
