Not really a plothole, but another terrible moment in the film:

Vulcan Punks: Hey Spokcy-wocky, you half-human dork!
Spocky-Wocky: Hello, my associates with whom I share 50% of my alien make-up (the ears).
VP: You are dumb!
SW: Your actions are illogical.  You have attempted, without result, 37 times to elicit emotions from me.  Experience, when properly accounted, should inform you that your attempts will never meet success.
VP: Your mom is dumb!
SW: <blind rage>

Spock was bullied as a child. It's referenced in "Journey to Babel", and shown in "Yesteryear", considered one of the best episodes of the animated series and the only TAS segment considered canon for many years.

Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I thought I was.  I didn't mind that Spock was bullied... just that he goes from completely stoic to tazmanian Yoda in the blink of an eye.   In my opinion, and in fact, the scene just plays terribly.
