Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

and moved about 2 hours to another hoard.

He invited you along yet never let you come over and play?!? What a tool

Hilton tends to get selective memory for reasons still unknown... Luckily he documents it on pinside so you can get the full story. He went with Tom (roc-noc) because Tom got the invite from Gene, and Hilton offered up free services to get to see the collection. Tom is a really good guy who wouldn't give anyone the short end of the stick.

Here is the original thread discussing the auction of the remaining IPB inventory-

Quoted from Whysnow:

I never claimed Tom did. He is a great guy.
you also have zero clue about what Tom and I discussed in a 5hr+ drive and 9hr day of work, but then again you have a real tendency to ASSume lots of things you don't know. kind of your MO...

You actually did, to me, in person. But I am sure you selectively forgot your conversation with me as well.

Truly man, it's all good. I have said it before and I will said it again.... I don't care about any of the stuff you spout off (there is way too much to even try to keep up) but I won't stay quiet when you attack others that don't deserve to be attacked.

I am glad you think highly of Tom, reading it here is a different tone that what you spoke to me in person.

Quoted from Whysnow:

You are completely full of shit. I have never said anything bad about Tom and have never even spoken to you about my trip. Really odd thing for you to lie about

Sorry man, that is where the line is drawn. I will never lie, ever. It's how I was raised, and how I raise my kids. Like I said before, you either have super terrible memory, or just talk so much shit all the time, you don't remember what you have said. If your memory is truly that terrible, you may want to see what can be done about that. If it is because you have skewed the balance between fact vs. volume, dial back the volume and focus on the facts.

One of us is a real-life local (regional?) punchline, and the other of us is a cartoon punchline. I sleep well at night knowing I am just a cartoon.

The last 10,000 words (as always) are all yours. Good luck character assassinating me, you will need it.
