“You are implying the chofetz chaim foundation published the wrong halacha in their book of halachos which thousands of people learn from daily. You should contact them about that before the next printing.”

Reread my post. I implied no such thing. You, on the other hand have implied that I posted the incorrect halacha in the CR which thousands of people read.

I have not looked up your quote in the book you quoted, but I am going with the assumption that you quoted it accurately. If that is so, it is not incorrect – you simply misinterpreted the words “set off a negative reaction.”

Personally, I do not think that I would have made that mistake, but you should be aware in general whenever something is translated and/or cited, it is very easy to misunderstand the exact meaning. In fact, it is almost impossible not to, since there is no such thing as a precise translation. That is why it is always worthwhile to look things up in the original, especially before quoting them in a public place.
