Can this article and talk page be unprotected now so that unregistered users can edit and make comments? We can quickly restore protection if necessary. --] 20:10, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

:Not so long ago, an IP made a comment at another venue pertaining to this article and I ended up having to redact their comment per BLP. I did leave a message for Jechochman on this. I think <s>protection</s> unprotection at this time would be premature. –<font face="verdana" color="black">]</font>] 20:16, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

== Human Rights Advocacy == |
|
|
Unfortunately the article does not cover even a few percentage points of the human rights and civil rights advocacy that Mr. Henson engaged in toward the end of his world-renowned space pioneering advocacy "career," if one can call unpaid science insight advocacy a "career." |

Mr. Henson was heavily involved in human and civil rights from the 1960's right up until the late 2000's and provided technical assistance in isolating and punishing anti-freedom of speech crazies involved in the so-called "Sporgery" computer crimes. If I can find an on-line copy of the human rights award he won back in 1998, I believe it was, I'll add a section here covering the award. If anyone gets there before me, please do add it since that was an awesome feather in Mr. Henson's hat. ] (]) 06:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC) |

Another significant part of Mr. Henson's later civil rights work involved the eye-witness court reporting on a BBS's lawful dissemination of pornography as a matter of freedom of speech as the BBS was on trial for same dissemination. |

The "Amature Action BBS" (AABBS) in the year 1994 had been raided and indicted for sharing out pornography when in fact such activities were lawful within the State of which AABBS operated. A single Christian extremist in Memphis advanced the notion that AABBS violated the laws of Tennessee and that because AABBS could be accessed through the phone line, some how laws were being broken, opening up a fiasco that cost tax payers considerable money and ended in the AABBS's operators being found not guilty of having broken any laws.
Much of Mr. Henson's real-time reporting of the on-going trial against AABBS was posted to the FidoNet and to segments of the Internet that were still utilizing Usenet protocols, and
Usenet Posting 1
Unfortunately a lot of the history of Mr. Henson's court reporting on this highly important civil rights trial has been lost. It would be nice if anyone who has records of Mr. Henson's outstanding work in the AABBS case would scan it in and get it saved and referenced here. NotSoOldHippy (talk) 06:30, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
