To say that it was a deliberate snub would be implying that Sherlock was exerting effort, which he was not. He had been aware of Commander Spock's presence in the lab at one point, and had since lost touch with his surroundings for several hours. The face that they hadn't spoken a word to one another in that time was hardly unusual.
The silence had stretched for better than two weeks, now. Which was decidedly outside normal parameters for their laboratory association. Spock was so thoroughly analytical that Sherlock almost never had reason to shame, dismiss, or ignore him. Or hadn't, until that week when they'd all lost their minds. Since then, he hadn't so much as requested that the Vulcan pass the hydrofluoric acid.
It wasn't until Donovan skreeked from her tank that Sherlock looked up from his microscope to find Spock standing just across the table from him, staring.

Still, he could not let the matter drop so easily. He sorted through his arguments and started with the one foremost in his mind, saying, "It would be illogical to expect that I would not support the man who is both my captain and my friend. I recognize that you do not know Jim as I do," he went on as Sherlock looked up from the microscope again, "but he has my respect and admiration. As such, I could not conscience any other choice, even in my compromised state."
