glazing

   accusatory, embarrassing, ironic

the one-line answer

Praising someone so excessively that it becomes embarrassing to watch.

Glazing is when your praise for someone crosses from genuine admiration into something that makes everyone else uncomfortable. You are fawning. You cannot say anything critical. Every post is a defense. Every response is a compliment. The glazer does not notice. Everyone else does.
