I think that in order to “assert dominance” over Lennart Poettering you would have to do a bit more than mis-spell his name.

It usually isn't effective in creating submissiveness on the person its being said to, it's more about the ego of the person doing the saying, demonstrating that what they say is under their own control and they can be rude with little consequence. That is something which can puff up a weak ego, if only slightly.

How about instead of this generally passive-aggressive mumbling, you say how you really feel? You could even go as far as to refute my points directly.

Failing that, you could niggle at my insubtle hypothesis that eventually Pöttering will full-bodily enter his own fundament and thereby vanish. Or you could take issue with the hyperbole referencing Brave New World, a book concerning dystopian conformity; or the company store, a symbol of dire working-class exploitation in pre-New Deal America. Certainly there are individual phrases or words that could similarly serve as points of deflection, such as the millennia-old "foo must be destroyed" statement of creed[0], or my framing the putative motives of systemd "fanbois"[1] as motivated by fashions (i.e. positive peer pressure) alone.

That's assuming that the capacity for such refutation and/or secondary niggling beyond a variant spelling exists, that is.

Until then, I wish you a good day.
