It is completely irrelevant whether you intended it as a joke or not. How 
would you react if somebody made a joke that you, or a group of people 
including you, were vultures or grim reapers? Are you sure you wouldn't claim 
that it is an attack against you and/or report it to CC?

If you had not deleted it, that post most likely would have qualified as public 
insult against VideoLAN and its members (including a number of people on this 
ML), which is a fellony, were it a joke or not.

And even that is not the point. The point is obviously that, if you do that 
sort of things - that joke or any of the other bullet point - you will piss 
people off. And those people will rightfully reproach you for it.

And then empirical evidence is that, in such circumstances, you will paint 
those legimate reproaches as attacks against you, and paint yourself as the 
victim. That is known as victimisation.

TBH, the fact that you now accuse me of attacking you for bringing this up 
underlines the argument.
