It didn't ruin the Borg. They were still terrifying. I never found myself thinking afterward, "Aw, but if only we could all just sit down and have tea and crumpets, then this could all be settled." And I see nothing wrong with showing that there was a possible human element to them. They were sentient beings at one point, in some form, so there's nothing wrong with giving them a little more depth. I could agree that a more serious study might have been better, but it was still a fun episode.
