[meteorite-list] In regards to NWA 10495

Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 07:58:47 +0200 Message-ID: <40AF43E5-BA6A-40FF-8D5A-3E6DBB473DC5_at_centurylink.net> Adam, If you do to want to read nonsense, you should not write nonsense! Your written accusations of libel is libel in itself against me. I highly suggest you stop while you are behind! Everybody knows you AND Jeff Kroschell were/are partners and the ones who began the project. You dropped the ball and I picked it up years after you couldn't do it. I rescued the 'mission' and carried the ball across the finish line. Almost everyone is happy except YOU! YOU will never be happy unless you are writing 'nonsense' on the List. Go spend all of the money I put in yours (and hopefully Jeff's family's) pocket and quit throwing it away on wasteful things!

He has taken credit for images that I paid to have professionally done by Pat Gifford and provided them to another website, plagiarized and uses a website that I spent over a 1,000 hours producing years before he became involved and he is selling unauthorized versions of a replica created on a mold/casting system that I designed and produced from scratch. I never planned on these castings to be placed in public hands. He has now committed libel among other previous offenses with the falsehoods he posted last night. > > People need to respect others intellectual, copyrighted and artistic works. > > This is not about shameless self-promotion on my part. I did not chase the press at its inaugural public viewing at the Royal Ontario Museum, was not present and paid to have the classifying scientist represent NWA 5000 at the event. There is only a single image of myself on the official NWA 5000 website buried deep at the back end. I have avoided making the story about myself since I will, more than likely, only be a footnote in its long-term history anyway. > > It has always been about the stone in my case.

This is where you find the trouble maker. The museum and it's supplier are setting this mysterious larger lunar up for a sale with these comments, This museum has already been involved in a major scandal regarding stolen meteorites. Now the curator has the audacity to introduce themselves and the museum to the World by throwing attacks and insults. Two strikes already on the museum and the management. I can tell you one thing Greg Hupe is the most honorable, honest hard working person I ever had the pleasure of knowing in the world of meteorites. His hard work, efforts and accomplishments have inspired my passion for meteorites. As far as I know this is a time for celebration, when a meteorite goes on display in Yale University, everyone of us should be excited. We can all share in the excitement of this wonderful achievement. Those of us who decide to put ego and jealousy first, shame on you. This shows who you really are and your true intentions. Some peopl e only care about the money they can take from meteorites and all they work on is shameless self promotions that don't put science first. You are the people who cause the problems in the World and with meteorites too, your attitudes suck. Greg's achievements with NWA 5000 and the others during the last 20 years are like a beacon in the darkness, his accomplishments working with scientists, museums and universities are in start contrast to the accusations coming from people who sell their meteorites in auction houses and are involved in scandals. Greg I thank you for being the best and staying the course, you are the most achieved person in the Meteorite universe and I support everything you do and you are a role model to those of us who one day hope to make half as many discoveries. > All the best, > John Higgins > > > ----- Reply message ----- > From: "Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list" <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> > To: "Bigjohn Shea" <bigjohnshea at mail.com>, "meteorite list" <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> > Cc: "Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list" <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> > Subject: [meteorite-list] In regards to NWA 10495 > Date: Thu, Jun 16, 2016 5:05 PM > > John, > > It matters not about the weight at this point. What matters is how she came aggressively charging out of left field because of the actions and aggressions caused by someone else's public actions towards me, all of which could have been settled 'politely' with a simple private email to me. They chose to make a spectacle of it and another decided to air his dirty laundry to be part of their hopeful public lynching of me. > > New personnel at a new museum that hasn't opened yet or not, I will protect myself especially when only a couple people know the 'real' true story and their agendas, most has been publicly discussed on this thread so do not feel the need to join in on throwing me under the bus, John! > > I'm very tired of this whole discussion, especially from those who do not know the whole truth, including the aggressors! > > Best regards, > Greg Hupe > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Jun 16, 2016, at 8:32 PM, Bigjohn Shea <bigjohnshea at mail.com> wrote: > > > > I think there is an unnecessary amount of hostility being displayed to a museum curator over the claim of the "World's Largest Lunar", which is essentially a marketing factoid anyhow.

It seems to me that the thing which would settle this once and for all would be for the curator to take a moment out of her busy schedule, weigh the main mass of NWA 10495, photograph this process thoroughly, and have this information forwarded for publication in the metbull so it can be made official. > > > > That being said, nobody is arguing over what the world's largest Eucrite is, or the world's largest Martian is, etc. because nobody is making it a point to market their specimen under those pretenses. My point being, which is the largest lunar really doesn't matter to the science of meteorites, or the meteorite world in general, only to those who feel they want to sell under that claim. > > > > No matter which is the largest, nothing changes the fact that NWA 5000 is a gorgeous meteorite, that people should be lucky to own a specimen of. I doubt anyone would seriously go about demanding a refund from either of the Hupe's were NWA 10495 proven to be larger. NWA 5000 is still a rare beauty... > > > > Cheers, > > John A.
