    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

darin..i liked that post of yours alot!

I rarely post in here but Adam really intrigues me. He is so self destructive that is it is humurous. He displays classic signs of paranoia in his thoughts that everyone is in this clique and they are all out to get him no matter what he posts. And signs of delusions of grandeur in his thoughts that he controls this universe and everyones thoughts.   Well Adam, if you are so in control of this board and our collective thoughts, then I am baffled as to why you would not want to turn things around and make them in your favor?  Oh, wait, you did try that. Didn't work did it?  I guess you are not as all powerful as you think. You would have made a great case study for me during my psychology rotation in school.  I still don't quite have you figured out and it is a challenge.  
I haven't seen anyone since the infamous Jesse Underhill try so hard to do such harm to their reputation.  It is pitiful really. I feel sorry for you, as it is clear that so many other people on here do.  I commend Neil and Casey for trying so hard to get you to see the light. I have been trying to tell Casey it is a lost cause and I see that Neil is finally accepting that also. My humble opinion is that everyone should let you self destruct on your own and no longer answer any of your paranoid delusions.

Oh by the way, maybe I missed it, did the sipper tubes ever go out?
 
Just a little side comment here about the topic at hand:

The world is full of self recognized geniuses whom have classified themselves as such because they simply cannot accept nor recognize the fact that there are people much smarter than them laughing at their antics.  They grew up with their parents telling them how *smart* they were, and surrounded themselves with people (generally including the spouse) whom were on the lower scale of the intellect scale, and use that as proof of their belief.

A person of this type simply cannot comprehend that they are not as smart as they believe, and further cannot comprehend the simple truth that they are completely transparent to most other people.  They will twist their own minds into believing that they have manipulated everyone into seeing only what they wanted them to see.

While the crowd continues to laugh and enjoy the show and the genius boy believes they are laughing with him, not at him.

I would bet that there are many padded rooms filled with people whom think just like that and there is a psychiatric text book name for this condition.

Oh, and just so there is no doubt in anyone's minds (perhaps the thought being put there by super genius Adam Block), Adam, don't believe that I will allow you to post all of your garbage anywhere you want on my site.  I can and will grant you your request of blocking you from this site.  While your circus act here has certainly been entertaining, you are getting to be distracting and rather predictable with your baited trolls.  I believe the picture you have painted of yourself here is quite complete enough to give someone an idea of what to expect in any dealings with you with no need for eternal redundancy.

Oh yeah, I guess you are really manipulating me into writing this message anyway, so no hard feelings, right?   After all, this message was all your doings anyway by pulling my strings the right way.
 
You guys crack me up.  I rarely get here when there is still a good line left.  I once made a comment about people like Jesse Underhill and Dan Bifield being the clowns and dancing bears of the BOI.  I guess there is a new name on that distinguished list.
 
i think the problem lays between emotional intelligence and intellectual intellegence.
i have met many people that give the impression of great intellegence that do the stupidest things leading me to believe there must be something wrong with my mind.
in analyzing the sitaution i would ask myself why would someone so smart do something so darn dumb.
after a zillion self help books and books on psychology i began to realize that the brain does not always develop in all areas at the same rate therefore leaving a person seemingly intellegent on one hand and seemingly childish and dumb on another.
then i would sit and try to remember in what ways they seemed stupid in their decision making and more often then not it would be in regards to their emotional decision making process.the fact that they can rationalize things with such intellect makes it even more believable.a truely gifted person can have you thinking all sorts of things and yes can be quite maninpulative.
adam sadly is not truly gifted ...but he understands the concept of swinging around situations in such a way that some of us for a period of time actually believe his bull####.
anyhow..i doubt what i said here makes alot of sense for the most part because even i have a hard time following my own thinking but some parts do permeate the brain patterns if they sink in a little.
lol
i guess my point is this..sadly..adam is an emotional retard and an intellectually average person with a touch of manipulative poisoning and a dab of high drama..
.just my 02 cents..
gotta get that coffee now..
i really like darla and the way she responds to things..
i think she would make a great doctor..she gives me such a feeling of comfort when i read her posts..she is very calming.
i wonder how long ill be waiting for an appointment..
geesh get cracking darla..there is so much i would love to tell you.
 
Kim,
No doctor aspirations here, even better, I am a nurse.

Still talking about Adam after you have come to the conclusion that he is not worthy of being talked about anymore.  Saying that he is not manipulating you into doing what he wants you to do.  Eventhough what he wants is to have you keep talking about him and posting comments about him no matter what forum he is in just to prove a point.  And I suppose the point is, is that he is the sheppard and you are the flock or sheep.  I just figured if everyone else on this BOI was as smart or smarter that Adam, then you would have just ignored him and just watch him fade away.  Or the webslave could have banned him when ADAM actually asked to be banned.  Was he not banned because he was so popular (infamously) with everyone who posts here regularly?  I honestly think that most of you will miss him now that he is gone.  Who will you stay up to all hours posting about now?  Will this be the first website you go to when you get on the internet now?  I, for one, will miss all of the bickering and arguements that have been taking place these past months.  I guess I will have to go back to recording "Days of Our Lives" or "All My Children" again since the "Adam Show" has been cancelled.  I wonder if we could get som "Hee Haw" reruns or "Green Acres" to fill the time slot?  I think that the psychological profile of Adam was a nice touch too.  Maybe we can get a spin-off of C.S.I or a 4th installment of Law and Order to take his place.  It would be nice if we could get a new show that was a combiantion of a soap opera, sit-com, and courtroom drama.  That is basically what the Adam Show was all about.  I wonder what Aaron Spelling is doing for his spring line-up?

hey..glad you liked it..the psychology profile ...lmao.
any encores requested?
why not play along huh???  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
 
Kim.... you might have a point there.... because (it's been said), that we only use about 10% of our brain, in this day and age.... but, with all the technical advancements we've had in the recent past, they say that within 50 years, we'll be able to use the rest of the 60%!! duh....

As I've always said.... I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me.... than a full frontal lobotomy!! lmao

Believe it or not.... last night, I had about an hour-long talk ON THE PHONE with Adam.... I gotta tell you, if you ever speak to him personally.... he's really a very amiable guy!
He's NUTS! But, in a nice way! Sort of like ME! hahaha

....Neil
 
Derek,

Adam hasn't been blocked from posting here. Not yet, at least.  I felt a warning was appropriate first.

As for him manipulating everyone into talking about him, yeah that makes sense.  Like I would want everyone talking about me continually in the context his name brings up.  And would subliminally maneuver everyone into bringing up such things every chance they get.

Yup, that's some real manipulation going on.

So tell me, do you really think some new person logging on here and doing a keyword search on Adam Block is going to get a real warm fuzzy feeling about dealing with this guy from what is being said here?  And most of it is from what Adam himself is saying?

Hey, I've been surprised before, so maybe it is in his favor to keep his name in the limelight.  So more power to him if that is the case.
 
So, Mr. Block has now been banned?  That's a bit of a shame.  I was really beginning to enjoy showing his hypocrisies.  I have some more examples set aside for future reference, should they ever become necessary.

You know, Derek, I still think you're a stand-up guy in your business dealings.  However, I can't help but believe that your take on these posts is somewhat tainted by the fact that you actually know Mr. Block.  From what everyone who has actually spoken to him says, I take it that he is an amicable individual with whom to converse.  But, Derek, take a look at the way that he has acted toward people, this BOI, and the opinions of others with a fresh perspective, and I believe that an honest person will find Mr. Block to be a hypocritical boor.  Perhaps these posts he has made is not an acurate picture of who he really is, but given that for most of us, this is our only avenue from which to draw a conclusion, how else are we supposed to find him?

I don't know if the psychological sketches of Mr. Block are accurate or not.  I am in no way qualified to judge such.  I DO know that Mr. Block in no way manipulated me into posting anything that I have.  If you will notice, Derek, everything I have said about him for quite some time has ONLY been in this thread.

I think Mr. Block is an obnoxious, pompous, arrogant, hypocritical jerk for whom I have little regard in any way.  I wish him no particular ill-will.  I simply refuse to allow him to place himself in the position of shepherd and me as a sheep.  As for me, I will allow this thread to die its natural death, and I have no intention of ever saying anything else about Mr. Block as things currently stand.

Who will we find to post about here on the BOI now?  Never fear, Derek!  To paraphrase P.T. Barnum, "there's [an obnoxious, pompous, arrogant, hypocritical jerk] born every minute," and they'll find their way here one way or another.
 
Hey Darin,
Not yet

ok so more manipulation to come then.
tic toc tic toc..whats adam doing i wonder....
he is slow tonight ...
i cant wait for another dose of adam and his mind bending.
i for one find it fascinating..
but no..i dont think i would be in a line up to do business with him..geesh..i dont like mixing business with pleasure.
especially when it comes to this kind of drama..its too time consuming and i want my sipper tubes now..not a year from monday.
 
My last post was an attempt at sarcasm.  I just wanted to "let loose" with a little humor on the matter.  As for the ORIGINAL thread on the sipper tubes, I have NEVER stated my opinion I just stated the fact that I am friends with Adam and that I have never had any problems with any dealings with him.  Of course I am biased towards him but I am not going to say what he is doing is right or wrong.  His business is his business.  If everyone who reads the 2,452 threads about him concludes that his business dealings suck, then DON'T BUY FROM HIM.  

As far as the latest posts about Adam "manipulating" some of the people on the BOI, you have to admit it is somewhat true.  We are STILL posting about him.  I am not saying ALL of you are being manipulated or coerced, or bullied into posting.  But whether you like it or not, you still are.  This is what he is talking about.  You want him to go away yet here we are writing new chapters to this ongoing story.  That is what I found funny(I am right in the middle) and that is why I was using sarcasm in my last post.  To make a point in a humorous fashion.  I did not intend to offend anyone but was merely giving my opinion in my own way.  

I will continue to be friends with Adam and I will continue to "contribute" to this board when I think I might be able to add something of substance.  Darin, I appreciate the kind words about me, thank you very much.  

Good night for now.
Derek Roberts
 
Many of the people who post here (myself included) are somewhat predictable when it comes to a "bad guy" thread. For Adam to say that he is manipulating the people who post negative things about him is not true, what he is trying to do, is humiliate and embarass people to KEEP THEM FROM posting. If Adam got hit by a train, he could claim that he manipulated the train to strike him.

yup I can see our point.
I myself like to manipulate people into talking bad about me.
It is WONDERFUL for business.


For him to say he is manipulating anyone......
Well how come he has not manipulated anyone to stop?

You know what?
I think tommorrow I will manipulate the sun.
I will make it shine in the morning.
But first I gotta start with tonight.....I will manipulate the setting of the sun.  I will manipulate it to become dark.
hint hint-- if you missed it.  You can't manipulate something into doing what it will already do.  As Casey said

round and round the blows did swing
adam thinking just one thing
im the dog and rest are sheep
he was wrong cuz he's boo peep

webslave came and slapped him down
adam please we need no clown
life is short no time for play
adam please enough today!
 
Wow! Kim Felts.... the Poet Laureate of the BOI.... way cool!
That's was the most beautiful thing I've ever read.... so heart-felt, touching and sincere.... I'm just misty-eyed!!

ROFLMAO!!

....Neil
 
My 2 cents on this thread,

If the webslave banned every person that posted off topic most people on this thread would banned. The topic was simple a post was made about Brock's shipping delay (THE TOPIC) and it has turned into a joke!!!! If people would stay on topic and stop trying to push other people's buttons there would be 90% less drama. We need no poems, nobody cares what idiot is rolling on floor or what quotes are forthcoming. So stay on topic stop fighting and lets get the B.O.I. back where it belongs on top.
