I am the one being jumped by you and others for mentioning a competing office suite's word processor in a price comparison. You asked me to look closer, so I did and found that the claims being made against Open Office were baseless. You did not like that, so you made yet another unfounded accusation, this time targeting me.
By the way, I use Google Docs, so I have little interest in either project. However, the FUD being spread against Open Office by LibreOffice proponents has damaged LibreOffice in my eyes.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoA concept can be expressed countless ways using countless vocabulary. You don't have to use the word "fanboy" or even the word "fan" to communicate fanboy, and you did literally say "fan" for all that. FUD is not what's being said about Open Office. There is no fear, or uncertainty, or doubt being employed. There is simply a direct claim being asserted that practically all of the developers and maintainers of OO one day created LibreOffice and they are all there now, and OO has had nothing remotely like the development of LO since then. That assertion may or may not be accurate, or the facts may or may not have changed in the last few years, but it's nature is not FUD.
