Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species.
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoPlus yet another data point is the fact (if my memory is correct) that Romulans and Vulcans are the same species except one split off while the other devoted themselves to logic to control their emotions.

Yeah true, I suppose that kind of defeats my whole idea that Vulcans would self-destruct if they allowed emotions to control them.

They very nearly did. Romulans found another way to build their society.
Enterprise explores Vulcans who have rejected the teachings of logic and emotional control, and one of them end up mentally raping T’Pol.
There have been mentioned a huge exodus, or multiple exoduses away from Vulcan, where those that rejected the philosophy of logic wanted to start anew somewhere. Romulus is the only succesful world as a result of that past.
