Lucanos, let me first say that your post was very close to being too deep for me to wrap my little brain around.
I think I understand your point after reading it a couple of times. (except for that part about Spock being in love with Kirk.
)
I don't disagree with you that Vulcans have demonstrated several times in Star Trek that they do in fact still have emotions under all that logical veneer.
In the framework of Space Empires though happiness is only used as a modifier to resource production, reproduction rate, and the like. In that regard I think we can agree that Vulcans as a whole do not allow there emotional state to affect them outwardly, and so it should not have an effect on any of these things.
So whether its by choice or by biology, I think they should be classified as emotionles, just like the Borg.

P.S. my head hurts
