[40k] were guilliman, malcador and the emperor really giant assholes to lorgar?

My first assigned reading is a tome called the first heretic. My question is were the emperor and his most holy chosen really assholes to lorgar after the destruction of monarchia or was that whole event embellished because it was told from the perspective of lorgar/word bearers?

To clarify, the city of Monarchia was evacuated prior to orbital lance strikes.

Moreover, the Emperor had previously attempted to rein in Lorgar and his promulgation of the *Lectitio Divinitatus*, but only seemed to reaffirm Lorgar's belief in his father's divinity. 

That said, the Emperor could have used more...tact, so to speak, but as a character, the Emperor is not terribly skilled when it comes to developing strong interpersonal relationships.
