“Guerrilla marketing,” such as badmouthing Open Office and replacing
references to it with references to Libre Office in Wikipedia and
elsewhere, has been the norm for a long time now. A number of LO
partizans use even https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ for this very
campaign because some naive souls in the Open Office community
administer it as “User community support forum for Apache OpenOffice,
LibreOffice, and all the OpenOffice.org derivatives.” This level of
naivete is difficult to digest. Does the Apache Software Foundation
receive payment for hosting a forum for the Document Foundation? Does
the Apache Software Foundation know that a significant number of LO
users who participate in the forum openly recommend replacing OO with LO?

Yes, same on Twitter where I dared to mention OpenOffice as an alternative
to Microsoft Office on a ZDNet post.
It didn't take long for a LO supporter to show up telling me I shouldn't
recommend "abandonware".
I also noticed that the OpenOffice wikipedia entry has mostly a negative
tone.
