It wasn't phrased as a neutral factual statement.
Oh yes it was. Writing a word in capitals has nothing to do with how it is phrased. Phrasing has to do with the words used, not the orthography.

The stress on the "is" indicated that I was arguing a contentious point, some that needed to be defended and fought for, rather than merely providing information.
Using capitals usually means the opposite. Example: You ARE wrong. I'm certainly not trying to signal that this statement is contentious, quite the opposite: it comes across as, "I know better and the capitals emphasise the fact."
Neither I, nor TV's Frink, nor anyone else read your post as anything other than a factual statement meant to correct the person you quoted. If you wish to provide clues, you might you might wish to be clearer in future, for those of us who don't share your obscure writing style.
