==About==
The [[calmness-rationality fallacy]] is a [[logical fallacy]] in which it is assumed that calmness is a prerequisite for being [[rational]], and that any display of emotion implies that the speaker is ''not'' being rational and (a further error) is therefore more likely to be wrong. (This second part may be a separate fallacy.)
==Related==
This fallacy is often employed in [[tone-policing]], and is referenced by the [[straw Vulcan]] conceptual fallacy.
