I liked this quote:

"Trek belongs to all of us. I see canon much like the constitution. It
is living document, but it has some principles that are inviolable."

Does that mean ENT was unconstitutional?
Maybe we could take the case to the Supreme Court.

Indeed. Then again any changes to our constitution that a particular
province (coughQuebeccough) doesn't like, they just invoke the
"notwithstanding clause," it's how they get away with their legislated
racism.

Actually ENT violated the letter of Trek canon quite a bit. I mean,
mind melds can spread a disease? Vulcans need to numb their noses to
cope with the smell of humans?

Those aren't violations of canon. More like extensions of canon.

Don't ask TPM to apply logic and don't ask her to prove where it was stated
on screen that mind melds DIDN'T spread a disease or Vulcans found the smell
of humans unpleasant.... it will be in the same place where she found
categorical "proof" that Spock and Kirk were lovers.... in her own deluded
mind, and ya can't argue with that "reasoning."
