Steven1, what you post is no more sycophantic than what many, many, many of "The Boys" post about each other?

I beg to differ with you. Perhaps, a FEW guys OCCASIONALLY post over-the-top endorsements that APPROACH what you just did, but your post definitely made the very top of that list or close to it.
Projection? I can't speak for all my brother CRTers. Certainly there are some besides yourself whose posts could equally raise that question. But you need to remember a few things. First of all, personally I was definitely NOT projecting. The reason "the subject was on my mind" is really quite simple. It had ALREADY been raised by many others BEFORE me and I was simply continuing discussion of the topic THEY raised. In fact, if you weren't so confused you might have noticed that I was the ONE person NOT attributing your post to latent homosexuality. I was giving you the benefit of their doubt and actually attributed your post to something else entirely (having been posted while
consuming too much alcohol or other mood altering substances). In fact, I've noticed several other of your posts (having nothing at all to do with homosexual tendencies) that appeared to be similarly written under the influence of SOMEthing. Of course, I might be "projecting" about THAT if it weren't for the fact that I personally NEVER get drunk or ever take any other mind-altering drugs myself.
Now, I did say that it was UNSTANDABLE why OTHER guys MIGHT interpret your post differently (ie the gay angle) and I STILL maintain that based just on the evidence of that one post it wouldn't be a completely unreasonable theory for someone ELSE to take. But we weren't talking about those other guys. Their posts weren't uninitiated but came in reaction to your own questionable post. Umm.....can you spell, say, and s-p-e-a-k the word DEFLECTION here my esteemed associate? Hopefully, you can grasp that ever so abstract term.....it's very useful once one understands its implications.
Initially, I thought you just carried away in your praise of JOsie and, perhaps, wrote what you did at a moment that your judgment was somehow impaired. But you should have had a few lucid moments since then to look back and reflect on what you wrote and change that judgment, so now I'm not so sure of anything. Rather than simply say. "I think JOsie is a great guy (as most of us would probably agree) but I probably got a little too carried away with that post (which is a sort of thing that may happen from time to time with any of us)" and leave it at that, you became very defensive of what you wrote and now are futilely trying to throw it back on a guy who wasn't even one of the ones accusing you of latent homosexuality. Talk about "hubris". How messed up is that?
Any way, my INITIAL post asking JOsie to clarify the circumstances surrounding his potential hookup with a non-P4P chica at the airport was DEFINITELY much more to the point of this thread than your post about JOsie himself. If you can't see that, well then I can't help you but I'm sure most everyone else can see it. Regardless, most of the discussion that followed from that, INCLUDING THIS POST, certainly HAVE gone WAY off topic (how is that for humility?). Let me conclude that I'm glad you personally enjoy reading the words I write even though they're so lengthy and repetitious and, oh yeah, lacking in humility.

heredia is nice leave it at that
Leave it to a newbie to try to bring some sanity to the discussion. Heredia IS a real nice place. Unless you're a guy who comes to CR for nothing but P4P (what a waste) and even if you don't expect to pick up any non-P4P chicas (or even want to bother to try), you owe it to yourself to make the short trip out there to at least check it out. At the risk of sounding "gay", I consider myself to be one of that "VERY SPECIAL GROUP OF DOPES who actually fool themselves into thinking and believing that their collective travels to CR is [sic] NOT [JUST] for P4P....but [ALSO] to hook up with their homeys'" AND to check out the beautiful countryside and charming little towns AND to meet some of the locals not just the hookers in the Gulch.
