It may or may not have been a sarcastic reference to this, rather than joke-cultishness.
I understand. I was making a (minimally emphasized) personal request to not be reminded of that, even in jest. It is a source of (mild) negative affect and causes a commensurately mild interference with my ability to maintain respect for Eliezer, with spill over to SIAI and LW. (But I didn’t want to include the reasoning with the request because it didn’t feel like the time to criticise.)
I’m sorry, I am still a bit new to this website, and I miss the finer points sometimes. I’ll try not to make jokes like that in the future. I understand where you are coming from and how my sort of remarks, even in jest, could be damaging.

For what it is worth, I think such jokes are a) amusing b) helpful.
Fair enough.
