Well, you know, taking offense at every little joke is pretty cultish. Scientolgists do it. Linux users do it. Global Warming(TM) believers do it. etc. etc. and ever and ever. Amen.

If it walks like a cult and quacks like a cult, am I to assume it's a ham sandwich?

In a free society everything can be made fun of. Except Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That's too serious to make light of.

But cultish behavior, without being able to make fun of that all discourse stops.

There is making fun and there is insulting behavior. You go way over the line. You attack people with insults. That is not "making fun." I will tell you that many people are offended by your behavior because you are directing it toward them. They are not laughing.
