To a point I get that. What I find though in reality when another wants clarification they will approach it like this..
So you think Vulcans are noble do you? Really do you think picking your teeth at the dinner table is noble? That (insert something else) is noble? Now already I'm thinking why did I use the picking your teeth at the dinner table as a generic example. Someone is going to get mad at me for implying that they may have said Vulcans pick their teeth and I will have to retract it, lol. Next thing we're all talking about teeth and how obtuse and ridiculous someone is and it becomes a numbers game. How many think one way to how many don't.
So one makes an actual effort to defend their interpretations in their own written style and that still brings on derision. When someone says they would like to understand say, my views about Vulcans, I do try to share them. However sharing invites this need to point by point.. refute. It's the nature of the beast isn't it?
Here's the thing, and I probably missed it, but I never understood your POV on how the Vulcans are noble, or even what that is defined as in the context.
So, as much as I respect that you have opinions, I honestly have no idea what your views actually are, other than "noble."
Secondly, I feel no need to defend how the show portrays cultures. There is something that resonates with a lot of people, myself included, who admire and look up to Spock. But, that, for me, doesn't extend to the whole of Vulcan culture. Spock is incredibly unique, and that brings a lot of depth to it, but the rest of the culture is mixed.
Yes, people will bring point-for-point in shows to defend or refute points. In point of fact, I'm pretty sure that if I take a dig at VOY then specific examples will be brought to bear on my critiques. But, here's the thing, I don't feel a need to refute every point. Some points I just let slide.
