I understood that “our users” as “those who use our software,” not as “you belong to us.” I’m not fluent, so I might have missed the nuances.

Yes, but
Hostile Attribution Bias
is a tool in Bitcoin. It's reinforced with our beloved don't trust, verify
. This is literally what anyone that values verification over trust has asked for and - I think - for good reasons.It kinda sucks to be subjected to it because people often forget to respect the subject of their verification, and then can easily turn into ad-hominem slinging outrage; it has happened to me personally many times and cannot (and in my opinion should not) be prevented. I think that the trick is to minimize it on pointless things, which is why "our users" should have been changed, because it distracts from the discussion to be had.
I agree with @k00b that next time we should help out more intensively. Propose the fix ourselves and/or tag involved people that we know are here. The discussion may have gone unnoticed.
Let's see if there's outrage or that we're too skeptical ourselves

I also agree.
Use your language clearly and precisely if you want to be taken seriously.
It very easily could have just said, "Core users", or, "those who run Core," which would leave no space for ambiguity.

This really sounds better.

You'd think a group of people who do so well with programming and handling code would be able to write/edit better--or at least pay for a grammarly membership.
Edit: especially if they're going for an air of officialdom.
