    Why Wouldn't They Donate?: How John Henry's Life Could Have Been Saved
    Profile Two: Jason Todd

    Jason Todd is a long-time poster to the Usenet newsgroup rec.sport.pro-wrestling, a venue for lively discussion of various
    ersatz hobbies such as wrestling and politics. He posted under
    a series of handles such as DaveNOSPAM, Jebediah Granger,
    and Seth Janklowicz, but primarily uses comic book character
    Jason Todd's nym (and derivations thereof) to post to the group.
    Jason claims that his real name is Seth Janklowicz, but according
    to RSPW Hall of Famer Chad Bryant, there are no public records
    of anyone with that name living anywhere in the United States.
    Chad also suggested that Jason was a sockpuppet of a poster
    known as "flux,' "The Bogus Sting," and "Gary Schuyler," although
    this supposition was never reinforced by any evidence and Jason
    himself steadfastly denied it. Jason has also been accused of
    being a parody of liberals who does not make posts in earnest,
    but again, no evidence of that was ever presented.

    Jason has never been inducted into the RSPW Hall of Fame,
    but is currently the most influential of the few remaining posters
    from RSPW's heyday. John Henry was the first inductee to the
    RSPW HoF, and would have gladly shared the honor with Jason
    if only Jason would have donated.

    Yes, that's right. Despite being a wealthy accountant without
    the financial obligations of alimony or even children, and in spite
    of being an ideological ally, Jason never donated a dime to John
    Henry.

    John and Jason had several things in common when John
    was alive. They were both staunch leftists who believed in
    helping their fellow man when that fellow man was down, and
    fighting the system by supporting intelligent rational voices
    not chained to capitalist oligarchies when opportunities to do
    so presented themselves. They both worked very hard to get
    where they were in life. They both loved professional wrestling.
    Despite all of these similarities, Jason Todd steadfastly
    refused to give succor to JH, instead telling him "..." and
    "..."

    John's impending fate did not seem to stifle Jason's generally-
    merry attitude one bit, as Jason continued to make posts
    bemoaning the deaths of celebrities at the very moment John
    Henry was dying of poverty and starvation brought upon him
    through no fault of his own.

    In later years, Jason deeply regretted not visiting the link paypal.me/johnhenryus and donating an amount large enough
    to help John Henry survive. He could not undo the damage
    his cavalier attitude and refusal to donate wrought on the Henry
    family or the city of Kalamazoo, which was left forever poorer
    by the premature removal of a legend.

    TLDR - Chad and John DeJong created an invisible hall of fame cum
    superfriends collective and inducted themselves and no one else. Both
    continue to starve and want Jason Todd to use some of the money he doesn’t need to spend on his non-existent family to feed their lazy asses…
