I am not a native English speaker so I fail to see how saying "living in
a narrow-minded world" is rude. Wiktionary does not say that
narrow-minded is rude. It says "having restricted or rigid views" which
is exactly what I am expressing here. I should rephrase with "Keep your
restricted view on what a user is allowed to...". I apology for any
misunderstanding.
