Funny thing about the gemoro, MDD, you can look it up. Rav Ada Bar Achava ripped a red headdress off of a non Jewish woman, thinking she was a Jew. He was fined 400 zuzim for doing so. It doesn’t praise him or condemn him. I looked on the daf and the meforshim say nothing more about the matter.
But if you are such a chosid of Rav Ada Bar ahava, perhaps you will recall his argument with Rav Huna about if it is permissible to cut the peyos of a koton. He said yes it was, Rav Huna said no. When he found out Rav Huna’s wife cut their children’s peyos, he felt that was against Rav huna’s shitoh, and said something to the effect that she should be careful or she might end up burying her sons, and Tosefos says he didn’t mean to curse them, but they died young. Are you on his madreiga? even such a tzadik as Rav Ada said something he regretted. But really you should look at the gemoro in taanis, where he describes why he was zoche to live long. If you meet his criteria, my (red) hat is off to you and you can emulate him. If not, stick to Hillel. go and learn.
