"The Linux kernel community is a place without office politics, without subtle subtexts, without primate dominance dynamics."
There's nothing subtle about the Linux kernel community, but the rest seriously makes me wonder how this could be meant sincerely. Yes, I did read the bit at the end about "irony" (which isn't irony) and "progressive" terminology (which has been mainstream for a couple of decades). To the extent that the email perpetuates stereotypes of people with Asperger's, and shows a very one-sided view of how a more comprehensive code of conduct might affect them (hint: it protects as well as restricts), it seems very unhelpful to that cause.
[EDIT] Considering that the author's other writings reveal a very anti-progressive agenda (e.g. pro-Trump, pro-Brexit, libertarian) I suspect this is more a deliberate act of obstruction than a genuine expression of concern.
