I'm not worried about naming the particular group, The X-Files Club, given they don't actually exist any more. But I've seen lots of clubs go down the same path.
At one point Lameo wanted a 'centrefold' of me in a club newsletter, and I exploded at him. It doesn't matter if I'm well-liked by Melbourne fans, what are the overseas readers going to think? It's not relevant to them at all, and there was no conceivable reason to do it.
That was the conversation where I burst the blood vessel in my eye.
I don't mind the odd in-joke, the occasional highly local thing, but in theory the clubs and conventions belong to the members, they aren't your personal play-thing.
