As I understand things, the topic, as described in the OP, is M$ Office vs Google Docs. While there are many Google users around, as evidenced by the users of their search engine, Chrome, their photo app and version of an Office package, this does not mean that everyone uses their products, and that's the user's right.
And everyone has the right to their opinion, as long as it's not violating the rules of the forum. When a product is brought up in a topic, it's fair game to criticism, good & bad. For whatever reason(s), the mention of the word Google just gets some people fired up, and then the war begins.
Seems that it's almost a federal crime to criticize Google, who seems to make their own rules, participating in spying on users and handing over evidence to land it's very own users in Chinese prisons, planting whatever cookies they wish on our computers, and generally just doing whatever the hell they want to do.
Oppression has never accomplished anything good, and placing Google on the list of protection of public criticism will only serve to further enrage it's increasing list of non-users.
Freedom of speech is a basic American right, one that I hope is never taken away, and that right did not create an exemption for Google.
