I commend you on your incredible ability and talent to suss out or judge whether a person is genuine or not , simply by reading their post! (my BS detecter is up and running)... is this your objective opinion?

Nothing too spectacular mate, especially when MickCable stated in black and white his motivation for going to an event was to "check it out and have something to hang over [his] boss's head someday if need be".

Just taking the lad's word at face value.

I read this as your admitting that m was the 'misguided' individual that was projecting this "onto the whole thing".

No, pointing out it is more the individual who makes the leader a cult figure by projecting onto him their misguided perception. Sorta like saying, it is the student who makes the teacher. Remember that?
