I am not sure on that Martin.
I don't think Jono's statement can be an example of Poe's Law as it is
neither a parody of a fundamentalist belief nor is it a fundamentalist
belief.
(The Mirriam Webster online dictionary's second definition of fundamentalism
is "a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set
of basic principles" which I take to mean strict adherence to the existing
rule book, and Jono's statement does not advocate that.)
Jim's response may be an example of Poe's Law, although the belief being
parodied or stated is open to interpretation; although I don't think it
reasonable to deem Jim to be a fundamentalist.
Unless of course you are adding a corollary to Poe's Law: that parody is
difficult to discern from an extreme view, in which case Jono's statement,
which includes the concept of intimidating or confusing the Bind Elements
(being my dictionary's synonyms for fazzed), is comical and possibly
parodical.
