Like a good Neighbor

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I see.  Are you saying that there is an interpretation in which he did not give the key to his house to a vampiric alien, explaining when and how best to use it?  Or one in which he did do that, but it was not a major betrayal?  [Assuming he was Horn, obviously.]
Because I?m not seeing that alternative interpretation for this event.
