+I think that paraphrasing matched what you were writing prettly closely.
+
+But let's use a few quotes then:
+"[...] don't treat uses as blatant idiots.
+If I want to keep a proprietary JRE [...] that is my choice, not yours."
+
+"I think I'm best placed than anyone else to evaluate the exact risk
+I'm facing on the machines I'm running [...]. The decision [...]
+belongs to me. You [Mageia] are not a system administrator [...], you
+are a technical solution provider. You're clearly confusing the roles
+here."
+
+If that is not reading: Don't push the security updates to the users,
+let the user take care of that manually, then what else?
+
+Sure, call me lying, but then I call you schizophrenic.
+
+ciao
