I can understand an argument that we shouldn't use satire in our context 
just like I can understand the argument that we should be careful of 
what idioms and culture-specific references we use. (Though actually I 
suspect satire is more universally accessible than the latter two.)

But is satire really the issue here?   Of those who thought the drafts 
deserved the responses they got, did they really not understand that the 
drafts were satirical?   Or did they think that even while realizing 
that the drafts were satirical?
