I don't see what is old-fashioned about your opinion here. I would think
it were the gentilities of polite discourse that have become outmoded
(as demonstrated finely by the OP), and your view that good breeding is
somehow immaterial the new-fangled thing.

A person's nature when confronting a problem is entirely relevant to its
solution. A puerile nature blames the stone, and eventually the landscape
architects, when stubbing his toe in the rock garden.
If your objective wisdom is to assert that this specific stone has no
legitimate place in this particular garden and should be removed, well,
that may be true. File the appropriate wish-list bug report with the
architects, who have strived to create an ensemble effect and might not
wish to go without certain elements.
But as the stone in question figures on the map handed out to everyone
before entry, it seems to me it could've been avoided one way or
another by any astute visitor.
