Figured, since this was linked to again, that I might as well say some of what I think on this:
My reaction is more, well, a couple of things, but part of it could be described like this:
Yes, I do indeed admire you and think you’re cool… and my natural instinctive reaction to you is kinda, well, fanboyish, I guess. Hence I try to moderate that… TO AVOID BEING ANNOYING… that is, to avoid, say, annoying you, for instance.
If you can do that quietly without anyone noticing, you’re doing it right. If you make a big deal out of it to prove something to other people, you’re doing it wrong. Should be obvious, really.
