The bolded is what I do not understand. Why is this idea a point of contention for some NPCers?
GLOs do not force aspirants/PNMs to be interested in us, aspirants/PNMs do not force us to choose them, and GLOs do not force aspirants/PNMs to decide to join if they are chosen. Even if there is sometimes an implication of snootyness and rejectment, is that not okay considering that GLOs are among the organizations in the world with selection processes and no aspirant sense of entitlement?
