My grandfather was a dentist. But his patients didn't go out of their way to insert his name and his virtues into every conversation that might possibly be related, even remotely, to dentistry, or the town he lived in, or the town he worked in, or the car he drove, or the cigar he smoked, etc. etc. That would've been considered somewhat obsessive, and a little creepy.
There are people here who go out of their way to extol the virtues of the Morse Family, and interject accolades as such into posts that might involve the Morses, but not really be about them. When people go through the trouble of turning any thread that *involves* the Morses into a post *about* the Morses, it borders on the obsessive, which is a little creepy.
