I am the only one who would have a hard time to collaborate on a project where the "collaborators" start their message with

> You need to realize that

> (a) reality trumps fantasy

?

Then it's probably not the place for you, or people with thin skin that don't want to deal with that kind of tone/communication. If they lose out on talent because of it, that's their loss. Not every project has to be perfect and all-inclusive to the entire world of developers, and I'm okay with that.

It’s crazy to think that advocating for reasonable, non-toxic people to work with receives this kind response.

Inclusivity and non-hostile work environments should not be considered “perfect” and “all-inclusive”. They should be basic. The default. The lowest bar possible.

So an "inclusive" and "non-toxic work environment" should put fantasy above reality? There's nothing inherently toxic in Linus' message; he's making a technical point about how kernel code should be designed, to deal effectively with the sometimes complex and challenging reality of low-level systems.

He is implying that his collaborators are kindergarteners who believe in Santa Claus. It's insulting.

He's doing no such thing. He's saying "surely you're well past kindergarten and don't believe in Santa Claus, so why would you ever believe this?" It's a valid argument.
