Sorry. No. There's no "political correctness" at here
Theo's comments in particular seem to start at
"NFSv4 is a gigantic joke on everyone."
This isn't politically incorrect, it's just noise. Nothing is gained from this comment. Even Linus with his infamous "rants" would have actual commentary laced in, Theo is just being dismissive
After someone reaffirms that they would like to use it, he replies
"Hahahahaha. That's a good one."
"I guess by "all the other protocols" you must be rejecting all the rest
of your network traffic as "not protocols" or "not services"."
Well, to be fair there was at least one poster who suggested that OP use SFTP instead of NFS... I mean why bother with a vegetable peeler when you could use a chisel instead?
So yeah, like you said--absolutely no useful information was conveyed in that thread. Besides any lurking bystanders learning those "in the group" are complete assholes.

Again. Not helpful, just noise
