Neither of these was funny; both were backhanded insults to you.

That said - I am not sure what role you think foundation-l should be
playing in your being banned from meta.wikimedia.org.  You're claiming
the snide responses are off topic and inappropriate.  The original
request was off topic and inappropriate as well, though not snide.

I am completely not up on the politics on Meta, or the other Wikis
you've been banned or long term blocked on, but as a general rule
people who are being blocked or banned across multiple wikis are
behaving in a way that causes the blocks, even if there are aspects of
some of the blocks which are imperfect admin response.  There seem to
be a number of people on Meta who thought you were behaving
inappropriately.

Even if the blocks were abusive and inappropriate, foundation-l isn't
a block appeal channel.
