I wouldn't consider my self a "Tellerite" either. But +1 for Star Trek reference 
The Tellarites were described by Sarek in "Journey to Babel", as being argumentative, not to make a point, but simply to argue.
But I think the key difference between me and a Tellerite is that I am "making a point." I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing (or else I would pick on all the Sikh Teachings, but i cant cause to me they all make sense except for the 5 K's).
Heres my problem (its kind of a dilemma), maybe this will help you understand my angle:
By appearance, I look like a Gur-Sikh. I've never cut my hair in the 21 years I've been alive (and I consider myself a good person, but that is beside the point ). But I know it is not enough for me to simply keep my hair (I have to feel good about it like you guys do, or else its just as good as me not keeping my hair). One guy mentioned how his Kesh made him "feel" complete. My Kesh never has made me feel that way or the way you feel about your Kesh BUT I wouldn't mind, infact I would love to feel what you guys feel. Its just, How would I feel complete if keeping it is not enough? It seems like for you guys, the very act of keeping your hair is enough... and if that is not enough for me I either have to find out "why it is good to keep your hair" (which I have been trying to figure out for the past 5/6 years) or simply coerce myself into realizing that it is good for me (But that is something I cant do because it feels like I could do that for almost anything, there is nothing intrinsically good or bad about keeping it).
So here I am, a Sikh by appearance who does not feel complete. My appearance is essentially a facade. And I realize that If I cant "feel complete" with my kesh I probably wont feel complete without my Kesh but that's also not a great argument for Keeping the kesh (its essentially encouraging one to hold up the facade for the sake of holding up the facade). If I really want to feel "complete" I have to understand why it is so important? So my attempts to understand why it is so important may seem like I'm a "tellerite" arguing for the sake of arguing, but I'm not trying to justify a position (not playing Devils advocate) so much as I'm trying to figure out the "why?" Lol, hopefully that makes sense.
