It could be handled differently. The kernel author could simply say "this isn't how the kernel works, so we cannot accept this". There isn't a need to come up with wacky insults, as humorous as they may be.

> Sounds harsh. Now for comparison try standing next to an electrician and suggest alternate ways of doing things that are dangerous and wrong.

To become an electrician you take classes and become certified. How does someone become a kernel developer? I would assume by interacting with other kernel developers, suggesting ideas, getting feedback on those ideas, etc.

An electrician wiring a house is a single person job. An open source project is a team job, and there's a reason development takes place out in the open: so that others can contribute. If outside contributions to the project isn't allowed, why not make it a source available project instead of open source?
