Very often a lot of people leave a 'Dislike' rating due to the 'fat fingers' syndrome: not everyone has classy fingers like me, that not even Liberace :pompous:
True, but I can't assume that, hence the question.

Your information was correct but IMO you were very rude about getting your point across.This is often a deterrent to new hobbyist,maybe lighten up a bit and practice constructive criticism.

If your information had been incorrect I would've disagreed with your post instead of disliking it

I did include that in my reply ;)

Type V urticating setae are exclusive to Ephebopus.
Not VI? Wikipedia lists Ephebopus as having Type V, and quotes "(Marshal and Uetz, 1990)" but looking at the paper describing the type specimens on the World Spider Catalog, West & Marshall, 2000, Type VI is noted (and they quote the same paper as wiki).
Type VI urticating hairs (Marshall & Uetz. 1990) in a dense pad on the prolateral face of the palpal femur.
**edit**

Found this which should clear it up: http://www.scielo.br/pdf/zool/v30n4/v30n4a06.pdf. Seems the paper on Ephebopus from West and Marshall incorrectly identified the type.

I think you’ve had a sense of humour failure, to be honest.

Could be....its hard to detect sarcasm through text at times....either way it's not a big deal....it was a dislike on a post.....hardly a reason to go on and on.
