Hi,
this discussion is actually drifting away from an important
aspect. It is actually not about satire, sarcasm, first or second
language etc. It is about unprofessional behavior: there has been
numerous feedback on Dan's messages that people obviously found them
transgressing. Dan simply should have stopped continuing using satire,
sarcasm, but continued to deliberately write offending messages.
Sowing discord is unprofessional (as in the recent message here
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/UP7kNpleMnDGxbuQcc2FbEa_yOo/).
Regards,
Roland

The IETF choses to do its work in English, though that choice is

subset of English forms of communication, such that our style is most
widely understood, and least likely to be misunderstood.
Yes, we (the community) can make that choice. But we have not (yet?)
made that choice, so it's currently unreasonable to sanction people for
using such techniques.
(And if we do make that choice, the decision won't be made on this list.)
