You know, if it wasn't for the usual overblown fan language - characters are always "raped" or "murdered", never "changed" - she'd have quite an good point there: making Spock more human makes him less of an outsider, and if you've been identifying with him because you are an outsider, that's going to suck. Mind you, that the movie's hero is the cool nerd who gets the girl is just another reminder that the war on geeks is over and the geeks won.
