Though you weren't replying to me,

I was replying to anybody who might agree with the sentiment of the paragraph I commented on.

I have to say starting off your
reply with that sentence is a bit harsh and unnecessary (IMHO).

Why are people immediately getting agitated whenever the word "wrong" is used.

The word has a well defined meaning and as such it has its legitimate use.

It is not an insult, nor is it bad tone.

When something is wrong, be it literally or in tenor, then I reserve the right to say so.

Simply replace "wrong" with "incorrect" if it makes you feel better.

And now I say good night.
