That is how reputation work, is not illegal to give negative reviews to products. Specially products that respond to enable free ways of distribution like ours.
However the bigger picture is not whenever if there exist or not negative reviews (I am sure Firefox and Linux have their own share). But whenever the industry as a whole recomend OpenOffice which is what marketing should be all about. Instead we have a half death marketing list, there is currently no campaign for the 4.1.1 launch. No preparation for a "back to school" or seasonal message we want to transmit and is not like we are actively looking to give conferences and/or participate with industry journalists on the IT field. So in a sense we are doing next to none job on pushing our brand, and instead we are ranting about relatively small scams. To your point, we could use an international number even if its just a recording directing people to use the mailing list for further interactions.
