FWIW, IMHO, McCoy and Spock basically tolerated each other because Kirk 
loved them both, and he basicaly required them to get along, somehow.

I don't think McCoy and Spock would have ever been "friends" if Kirk 
hadn't demanded it.

Whatever "respect" Spock and McCoy felt for each other was IMHO a 
combination of respect for a comrade, and respect for Jim Kirk's wishes.
