I duno man. Short of putting #Satire on the end of every single line of text he writes it's hard to convey tone in e-mail/forum posts.
Not an excuse for some of the questionable decisions they made, some I agree with some I don't, but I think getting upset about something someone wrote on the internet because you chose to interpret it that way is kind of silly. Almost every time DeeJ is in a live stream he says things like this that could be taken as snarky if you just read them in a forum post.
My two cents whatever.

We don't need #satire or #sarcasm to get a joke, people just take everything too seriously.

It's hard to perfectly script a live event so I think deej gets a concession there. The weekly update is (or should be) edited multiple times before it is released and this is something that should not have made it past the rough draft in any professional setting.

I prefer that it isn't heavily edited though. It at least gives it the sense that he's talking to us as people not just people who paid for a service. And to the original posts point about "Go ahead, start a business and whenever a customer has a problem with you or the product, tell them to -blam!- OFF" Is a bit of an exaggeration of what was actually said and more of a reflection on the readers current state of mind. The problem is that this is completely subjective and no one is wrong, if you're offended or upset you're doing the right thing by letting it be known. Hopefully people don't complain when our weekly updates are just a bunch of bullet points with no emotion so no one's feelings are hurt.
