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:

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.

Because he lashes out? Spock has had that button that could be pushed. Kirk has pushed it more than once in the original series.

Yes, because he lashes out after telling them that their many attempts to get any rise out of him have been in vain, and then they use a rather light insult and he flies off the handle.

It's cool if you disagree. It just seemed really juvenile to me.
