No, we're not blaming the victim, as I see it Lennart just gets a taste of his own medicine, which apparently he seems to distaste as much as his victims too, I'm explicitly exclude death threats from that, no excuse for that.
But regarding personal attacks in general, he's not the victim, he's the one that started the personal attacks and now he's playing cry-baby.

It's typical of the systemd developer community (e.g. Kay and Lennart) to always blame the other side (need a list of downright sneaky and insulting bug report responses?) and never admit to any own failures and shortcomings, and that's why so many people so strongly oppose to them.

It's the we-are-always-right-and-everybody-else-is-an-idiot attitude of Lennart which gets people so angry. There are very valid concerns about how systemd is developed, about its ever-expanding nature, about it's lock-in agenda to which Lennart even admits to, that will never be appreciated by the opensource community. And there is almost universal agreement that his way of responding to criticism is deeply irritating,
Hence my diagnosis of Narcissistic personality disorder.
