I'm closing this thread because, ostensibly, you've grossly misread the regulation:
"Attempts at shrouding disrespect under needless cynicism or sarcasm will not be tolerated, either."
That, to me, in no way says "You are not allowed to employ irony or sarcasm". What it does say is that if you employ sarcasm or cynicism as a method of covering what is, otherwise, an obvious attack on someone or some group, then it'll be treated as disrespect.
Also, and I mean no disrespect to the community, but this addition is not up for discussion. It's a part of the AUP and will remain there.
