Summary:

The context of this message appears to be a public response from Joseph Poon, regarding an incident that occurred on April 5th, 2017. It seems that there was a discussion on the "bitcoin" channel at freenode, which led to some sort of issue with Joseph Poon. A user named gmaxwell| made a comment about Poon being complicit in something, to which Poon responded with frustration and disbelief.
