If he didn't want to be talked about on, say, buffistas.org, he should have thought through his plan better.
I think his plan may have been was to be talked about (as sj just said).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.
The other thing is, all he does is lurk, everywhere. There's nothing on his FB page, and there's nothing on his Google+ page, or his LinkedIn, aside from references to The Site That Shall Not Be Named.
My feeling is he's never going to interact, and if he is lurking, his takeaway from me can be, get help, man. And if not, enjoy your whacko life as another stupid interwebs curiosity.

He needs a hobby. I mean, other than whatever this little routine he's going through on the internet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How does having (presumably) secret FB group obfuscate that plan?
Seriously, I don't care if he is wanking to every google of his name, or whatever. If he does something that makes me want to chat about it, he is the last thing that's going to stop me doing it. Either way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I agree, and would rather have the conversation here. One, it's a Buffista issue, and two, this is the forum built for conversations.

It would keep him from being able to read what you're writing and get off on the fact that he can still get a reaction from people. Once again, not telling anyone what to do.

But not every Buffista who might want to grouse and vilify is also on FB.
Also, there's the large factor of FB completely overtaking Netflix in sucking on an epic scale.

Totally this.

I don't have any secrets from Gus, and if I were an attention whore, a whole FB group would be like a massage in my pants.
