I consider it blatantly OOC. You're talking about someone who, upon getting to Kalimdor, was brokenhearted about needing to fight the Quillboar and more humans. Who believed his people were *better* than just bringers of war and destruction. Someone who has promoted peace and cooperation over and over again. Someone who was *friends* with the leaders of the night elves
( ... )
Thrall's response, or at least, his reasoning, was stupid.
Thrall got thrown the stupid ball over and over in that book.
Thrall should have had the matter investigated personally. If they wanted an Alliance overseer, great. But Thrall refuses to investigate period. Despite the fact he's "defending" Garrosh, he basically assumes he's guilty. NO ONE EVER LOOKS INTO IT. NO ONE.
There are so, so many stupid things that Thrall winds up doing, I can't even begin to describe it. Including going to a different planet, with different elements, hoping they'll have any fucking insight at all into it instead of, I don't know, TALKING TO OTHER SHAMANS. LIKE HIS MENTOR. WHO IS NOT SENILE. FFS.
Don't mind at all. Like I said, it just seemed... odd. Not very Thrallish. Like I said above; I could understand the wanting to keep it within the Horde, but the lack of doing anything with it, and not even apologizing.. (I mean, I wouldn't see it so much as groveling... Thrall should be aware, more than anyone, that the horde--particularly the orcs--were already in hot water with the Night Elves to begin with. Clearly the horde could only gain from a quick 'Uh, sorry about your maimed Sentinel corpses...').
It's just simply the fact he more or lesses defends, bordering on condoning, such an act. I thought Thrall was against general barbarism like that, and was trying to steer the Orcs (and the Horde in general) away from such a label?

And I guess I can see and understand the perspective. Still seems weird, but alas.
Thanks for this!
