Well, this shouldn't be controversial at all!

Maybe a German wrote this originally, but the rest of us have had ample 
opportunity to amend this. It's not German software; it's not American 
software, it's OUR software. Rather than blame those who tried to fix a 
problem, let's put our minds to work on coming up with an even better 
solution.

Without dragging putative national characteristics into this, let's just 
agree that our software could be nicer. The tone of its messages could 
be improved, but more importantly, we need to reduce the need for there 
to even be nagging messages.
