I think it is common knowledge by now that the kernel community is a rather toxic space where abuse and elitism are the norm rather than the exception.

Even in the blog post's very one-sided account of the issue, there isn't even a hint of elitism or toxic behavior. There was a bug report, the reporter submitted a patch, the patch was faulty and unusable, and the maintainer stepped in to put together a working fix. That's it.
