    Recent information has come to light regarding John Henry's highly
    inappropriate
    sexual preferences. Other information, such as alleged scams
    perpetrated against
    sick and dying women, physical abuse of women, and drug use, has also
    colored
    this newsgroup's perception of him.

    Other Hall of Fame enterprises have enacted suspensions or removals of
    members
    based on their conduct in the public sphere. Notably, WWE removed Hulk
    Hogan from
    its Hall of Fame in response to his use of racial slurs, and Jimmy
    Snuka for
    being convicted of murdering his wife.

    John Henry's Hall of Fame status has been used by some in this
    newsgroup as a
    fundraising tool, but in light of John's own confession today, it is
    time for a
    reassessment.

    Please vote now on whether John Henry's Hall of Fame membership should be >> maintained, suspended, or revoked.

    If you feel he should remain in the HoF, respond with MAINTAIN.
    If you feel he should be suspended, respond with SUSPEND.
    If you feel his membership should be revoked, respond with REVOKE.

    To avoid abuse, only regular recent posters to the newsgroup may vote.
    Other than
    that, there are no restrictions -- anyone who has participated in the
    newsgroup
    recently has a voice.

    The voter roll is as follows:

    There is no default vote, simple majority wins. Vote now. I vote REVOKE.

    Wait, I'm rescinding this vote. What was the confession? I didn't see it.

    ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JOHN:

    "Listen, I'm gonna say this once and try to avoid a very long and very unpleasant post discussing a whole lot of things we'd all rather not have to think about:
    It's come to my attention that several of you are being contacted with message screenshots and some pretty nasty accusations.
    I'm a pretty screwed up human being, but not like that.
    The conversation started with "Hey I see you're raising money, I need $400..." and went immediately to threats when I said I didn't have it to give, which I don't. Wish I did. Have plenty of times in the past. Don't now.
    This is an act of petty extortion. That said, I'm not mad about it, just annoyed at having to deal with it. She's not a bad or evil person; she's just what the world made her.
    I'm a lot of things, but a monster was never one of them.
    I really don't care to go into it more than that, I get a little sick of having my every dysfunction examined under a microscope by thousands of people, regardless of how much I like transparency and how inclined I am to wearing my heart on my sleeve.
    It's just a gross conversation about ugly unpleasant things and I'd really rather not have another of those right now. I'll end up writing about the whole mess - not this person, but the mess of my history and childhood and how they affected my life -
    in detail sometime.
    The message is bullshit and I'm not the person I'm being portrayed as. I wouldn't even bother saying that out loud, but the unfortunate truth is if I don't at least a couple of you are going to assume it's legit."

    Perhaps if you didn’t act like a douchebag in the first place, you wouldn’t have to plead for people not to extort you or hold you accountable.

    I'm guessing the one extorting JH is an even bigger scumbag than John
    and probably even dumber. Given that John is too cowardly to come back
    here while the Zimmermen are ready to ridicule the moocher, I'd say that
    the NotChad is looking to get John to lose another battle here once he's streeted for non-payment of rent again.

    I'm not sure how to get someone to make a video of John's next hissy
    fit. That shithole motel likely has no survellance cameras that have
    worked in years.

    He's burned his bridges with his previous landlord (Art), his family and probably any landlord in Utah or Michigan. Any background check will
    disqualify him from renting. So what's left is mooching a place from one
    of the few idiots who follow him seriously.

    I say he should be in the RSPW Hall of Deadbeats and I hereby nominate
    John to be the first member to be enshrined.

    Can I get a second?
