While thay can be interesting reading it is still for those who are members and become Initiated.
The hatred that comes from some is so sad and uncalled for! 
Well, have a good day! |
Apparently you haven't been following what has been going on in the thread. This has nothing to do with the male GC poster you referenced.
There is a female GC poster who is planning to go through NPC recruitment in the fall, who joined a ritual collecting forum and obtained several NPC group rituals. (See pages 6-7 of this thread for reference.) Some people are offended that this person went about obtaining these rituals while she is in the process of attempting to rush several of those chapters. I'd hazard a guess that some people might also be concerned that the rituals will be used as retaliation (by publicly posting them on the web) if those groups choose to cut her.
We're not talking about a case of a regular ritual collector like the one you know. (Who some people may also object to, but I think most people would agree that a legit ritual collector who studies them for historical purposes and handles the information w/respect is a different situation than what I just described above.)
I do not know exactly why this person decided to obtain those rituals. The optimist in me would like to believe that they were not obtained for spiteful purposes - I'd like to think that it was misguided curiosity. However, I do think it was not a particularly wise act on her part, especially shortly before recruitment. Regardless of what her true intentions actually were, it looks very bad...and even the perception of something like that is bad enough.
