Even if it is a smear campaign, it is imperative that the support links 
and the quality of support is a "front and centre" policy of LibO. 
Giving user support should show predominantly everywhere you go on the site.

The underlying message the short video gives is that the support will be 
hard to find when you adopt the LibO suite. We should beef up the 
visibility of our support lines on our webpages so that this message 
does not prove true to our website visitors.

It is a sad marketing technique being used by "that other company".
