Ideally people could engage in a discussion with the original poster(s)
but as it is a non LibreOffice forum, I guess everyone is entitled to
his or her own opinion, no matter how dismissive it its. I would say it
is not primarily up to TDF to answer, but of course understanding this
person's issue and help him out, perhaps by having him file a bug report
may be useful. 

On a personal note, I'm more upset by his comment on the "annoying wife"
than on his criticizing of LibreOffice. I'm a married man but I feel
somewhat offended by the comparison. 

Cheers,
