Well, reading through this thread, I found I got the same nonsense,
from a leader of a forked project. For me it is always OK to fork, from
either OpenOffice.org or Apache OpenOffice. I sincerely wish them to
grow strong, whether they are LibreOffice, OOo4Kids, BrOffice, or
anything else. Together we enrich the whole ecosystem. That's why I
(and many people here) help our local Taiwan LibreOffice community, too,
as much as I can. I figured it is nonsense, and not worthy of my time.
If I do have spare time I would rather help the local LibreOffice
community than fight with nonsense from the troll. So I ignored it.
Period.
