Don't know who Henning is. :dunno:

The things kids don't know about anymore. Back in the day we had people here who were smart, good-looking, outgoing, youthful, full of energy, experienced in almost everything and would occasionally embellish a tale or two. Henning was certainly the most colorful.
 
Where were you in Henning's hour of need?

Henning's bio makes Richard Branson look inexperienced.

...good-looking... Dang, I never woulda fit in. I’m ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road to avoid seeing me
 
I never had any issue with people taking Henning to task when he was around to defend himself. I think it’s pretty poor form to talk him down when he has no means to defend himself. If some of these things were said of an active member there would likely be MC action. He is not here anymore, leave him alone.

Sorry if it came across wrong. I wasn't talking him down. Shoot, he's my only friend on facebook, although neither of us post.

Don't know what I don't know I guess. :(

Oh GMAFB! Anyone who spewed as much BS as Henning did doesn't deserve a break or to be left alone. With that said, in some regards, Henning is PoA's version of the Godwin's Law: Be the first to bring him up and you lose.

As a reminder as to why he deserves no slack, a short list of his BS as compiled by @Anymouse :

Not sure how long ago it was that you left, but here's what he's been up to (previously posted in a now closed thread). It's been a while since I've updated this list...

Here's a short list of his exploits...

@timwinters -- Does the personal attack have to be reported by the person attacked? Or does it only need to be perceived by any reasonable reader as a personal attack?

I don't know the answer to that, but I have my suspicions.

I miss Henning. With enough grains of salt his tales were entertaining.

And lest I forget TL/dr. @denverpilot is envious of the length of that stream of re-links

Simply telling the truth is neither "a personal attack" nor "talking down."
