Well, your post [at least at first glance] misses the point of what ‘straw vulcan rationality’ represents (a model of faulty rationality and not a statement about the actual fictional race that you care about) and it is a nitpick at best (not to mention that, in fact, most of the time when a viewer sees a vulcan in the shows said vulcan’s ‘rationality’ is faulty).
I mean, I get how nitpicks can be funny but posting that “Wow, apparently Lesswrong really hates humor.” and similar statements when your ’humorous” post doesn’t get well accepted seems excessive. Not to mention that even if this post looked like a joke (which it doesn’t to me) and not like trying to prove a point that misses the real point, its place wouldn’t be exactly in the Discussion section of the site by my standards if there is no additional content in the post on top of the humor.
(And yes, I know that you are likely to label me as one of those humourless lesswrongers that missed your joke.)
