(Heh, coincidentally, I'd been thinking of maybe mentioning this sometime soon... )

There is also a small but growing movement within Vulcan society, especially among the young, which maintains that humor holds the key to the true integration of Vulcan logic and Vulcan passion, that only if the Vulcan people rediscover how to laugh at themselves can they truly be at peace. This faction lacks a Vulcan figurehead at whom its followers can point, like the Charismatics have Sybok, but they do often refer to the works of the human Derek Bacon, who is widely considered the living master of the human philosophy that a sentient who cannot laugh at himself is not truly alive.

There are no examples of this faction yet, nor does it have a name, but that will probably change within a RL year or so...
