Neither of those links involves Klabnik.

And the second one (about swatting a linux dev) says "Others think someone from the Rust (programming language, not video game) development community was responsible due to how critical René has been of that project, but those claims are entirely unsubstantiated."

Also wild to complain about botting when I've seen half a dozen accounts that didn't exist an hour ago all pop up to criticize Klabnik.

And the first one is about Christoph Hellwig who has a long history of being awful to communicate with. He should have been kicked out of the Linux community two decades ago for that reason alone. For some reason, he has decided that he doesn't like Rust and he does what he can to keep it far, far away from any code he has anything to do with. If that requires 10x more work for others, that is a price he is willing to pay.
