This isn't Haus - it's someone pretending to be him, for whatever reason. Weirdly, this suit appears to have been used for at least semi-normal posting in the past.
This, therefore, isn't a friendly request for a drink - it's a very deliberate attempt to impersonate someone, and lure their friends and acquaintances to a pub it's known that Barbelith people do drink in, under false pretences and with God knows what intentions.
It's all distinctly creepy, bordering on terrifying. Prior to this point, in The Gathering myself and other Barbelithers in London and beyond have been fairly open in naming times and places where we intend to meet. However, I know that there are people who exercise more caution than that - I've always thought that was a shame, and wanted to keep to a principle that, even if it does just end up being the same dozen people, theoretically a Barbelith gathering is open to anyone from the board to turn up to. You would think, wouldn't you, that anyone who had bad blood with the board simply wouldn't want to turn up? You would think that it wouldn't be necessary for people here to arrange their meet-ups with other Lithers in private, let alone to give a wide berth to a pub they might otherwise drink in? But it appears you might be wrong. |
