    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.....

    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....

Machiavelli is one topic that is fairly interesting to bring up.  However as he says and I'm paraphrasing as it's been some time.  "Everyone knows how worthy it is for a prince to keep faith, and to live with integrity and not with deception"....  In this case I was 100% at fault and have no excuse.  My error was not only uncalled for but also misplaced.  If I'm made an example of I understand I only hope it isn't too late for me to do the right thing.  Kens tubes will be shipped ASAP.

NEVER EVER TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING !!

Well,

Since Adam has seen fit to do an about face (again), I thought I'd bring this old nag of a thread back to the top with a new addition (notice I didn't start a new thread--hint, hint).  Given Adam's protestations about how him taking his own sweet time to get orders out is no one's business but his own, I thought this post of his was particularly funny!


In a recent thread about Rodent Pro, Adam wrote:

"I've talked to Kevin a few times and decided not to do business with him myself.  While I'm sure he appeals to the masses I don't care for just how business minded he is.  He's the worst I've ever dealt with for returning calls and emails and while it does happen it's very much in good time.

"He's also been known to ship UPS ground and while I've heard he'll replace your order if it's thawed I'd rather just do business with somebody who got it right the first time.

"For these reasons I've never done business with Kevin and while I'm sure he's okay with that it should be said he looses business due to his Wal-Mart type business dealings.

"Can't keep everybody happy all the time,
Adam Block "


Sorry, but the irony is just dripping off of the screen right now, and I'm not certain I'm reading this right.  It IS Adam Block that signed that nonsense, isn't it?

Falsely apologizing, going back to your old sour self, and THEN attacking someone for doing exactly what you do (only to a much, much lesser degree) is very un-prince-like, Adam.  Machiavelli would be dissappointed.
 
I couldn't help but notice that either Darrin.  

Which reminds me, Adam, did those sippers ever go out?  Also, thanks for the fake apology.  Now we ALL know how much weight your words carry.
 
Adam, When I told you on the phone that an apology to everyone on the BOI would go along ways toward clearing your name, I guess I should have also told you to keep your fingers away from the key-board. The nonsense you wrote about rodent pro is a joke. Kevin would not meet your price, so you bad-mouth him.
What about those sipper tubes Ken? Seems like someone who purchases 20,000 mice each month like Adam, could have refunded your money or sent the tubes by now.
 
oh my god he still hasent shipped the sipper tube things?
geesh..i saw the rodent pro post too.
this adam should tie knots in his fingers...
he aint helping himself much do all this typing.
 
Just to add to how one sided, easy to judge, wrong and jump on any negitive bandwagon you people are.  What makes you think the tubes haven't been sent, gotten and aren't being used?  Maybe Ken should be the one to say something as opposed to you fools assuming things.  Casey, I hope you can focus better while you're driving then in here cause you're posting all over about everything, are you that obsesed with me?  I mean it's flattering but really, you're married aren't you?

Falsely apologizing?  What are you talking about.  If I say sorry and correct the mistake to confirm I meant it how is that false?  Oh but you would have to stop assuming for a second to see that?

As for rodent pro.  If I went there I'd be as bad as you now wouldn't I?

Oh well, none of you still posting are ever happy with anything so make sure you don't forget not to do business with me in the future.  After all, price and speed are much better then quality right?

I don't care, nobody's knocking my quality so I can live with whatever you goofs have to say about what I think or how long it takes to ship.  After all you're the ones wasting your time checking up and posting on me.  This is now very old news to most.

With much love to all you kind people for letting me see what life can be like when you have nothing to do with your time then worry about the sipper tubes Ken has and the posts I make on others.

Bye, Bye:)
Adam (the prince) Block
 
Mr. Block,

I don't know you at all (and probably never shall), but from your posts, I take you for a hypocritical weasel too full of himself to realize that everyone else just might be right when they say that he comes off as an arrogant jerk nine times out of ten.  You don't care that I think this of you, I'm certain, but I do nonetheless.

You seem so very childish when you come here on the BOI, chastising us all for making assumptions about you, and then you go right ahead and make assumptions about all of us as well.

"Oh well, none of you still posting are ever happy with anything so make sure you don't forget not to do business with me in the future."

Is that not a sentence full of assumptions?  Hypocrite!

Likewise, you comment on the "fact" (at least you presented it as such, from your perspective) that another business is slow to respond to your business needs as you see them.  However, when it comes to you responding to others in a timely manner in a fashion that is in accordance with accepted business practices within the industry, you have no sense of need to be anything but slow!

You then try to justify this by juxtaposing quality with timeliness (as though the two concepts were mutually exclusive), saying "After all, price and speed are much better then quality right?"

Again, you show yourself to be a hypocrite!!

This may indeed be "old news" for most people, Adam.  But some have not yet seen you for who you are.  So, I promise you this: Every single time you come here on the BOI attacking a person or business for doing something that YOU YOURSELF DO, every time you show yourself to be completely HYPOCRITICAL, I'll be there to bring this thread back to the top.

You can call me names; you can imply a lack of intelligence on my part (I'd really be happy to send you a copy of my college transcripts); you can dodge peoples' questions or go on the attack.  It's all up to you.  What you CANNOT do is continue to act like you're so high above all us BOI posters with no lives (Yeah, right) without having your arrogant hypocrisy shown for what it is.
 
Hello,
  I received sipper tubes Friday Oct. 25th  The kind I ordered and all there(even a few extra). A happy ending? Although I had to wait longer than I wanted to wait it all seems relative as I have them now and I am happy.
Thank You Adam Block.
I also would like to thank all who gave advice, information, and or opinions.
And last but not lease I would like to thank the WEBSLAVE for allowing me to use this free site and pointing out that free speech is letting everyone give their opinions(and some of those opinions are pretty ridiculous if you ask me{lol})

Ken Town
 
Well said Ken and thanks for everything.  You're a good person and I'm sorry I dropped the ball with you.  I thought I could deal with this by telling my situation however I should have just tried to play adult for a moment.  Oh well, I'm still young and know everything, the older I get the less I know.  In any event, thank you for posting in here from the start as it's taught me much about life and has made me some great friends.

Thank you for not getting dragged down in the mess and other issues as well.  You were the most adult person to post in here and the only one to stay focused and keep to the topic, myself included.

I personaly think we're all idiots for spending this much time on something so stupid but it has been fun for me.  I enjoy very much debating ANYTHING.  I don't care what side of the issue I take I just find it enjoyable.

In any event, thanks to all who have posted and I hope you've all found this just as fun as I have.

To know me is to love me, not one person who's spoken with me has had a bad thing to say.  If you haven't spoken with me you're taken with a grain of salt as you don't know me and aren't in a spot to speak about me.  With the typed word it's easy to be taken one way when meant another.  I joke around all the time about everything in life.  Many times in here you've taken something I meant to say one way as something else.

Okay I'm done and I hope you all are too.  If you have any other issues or are thinking about doing business with me in the future.  Feel free to call me anytime at (520) 616-8811 and we'll chat.

Adam Block

PS What the hell was this post about?  Oh yeah, Ken didn't get his sipper tubes, I said I was a slow shipper, you all said I was a slow shipper, my fine print said I was a slow shipper, my posts all say I'm a slow shipper or refer you to the fine print that recaps my slow shipping, my emails and phone conversations also show I'm a slow shipper.  And guess what, Ken slowly got his sipper tubes and after 10 crap filled pages I've been exposed as a?  SLOW SHIPPER!

Adam, I have spoken with you a couple of times,. Remember?
You come across as an arrogant conceited jerk on the phone also.
In your last post on Rodent Pro, you not only attack the way they do business, but you try to insult everyone who does business with them.ie; "the masses". </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">So, I promise you this: Every single time you come here on the BOI attacking a person or business for doing something that YOU YOURSELF DO, every time you show yourself to be completely HYPOCRITICAL, I'll be there to bring this thread back to the top</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

eeewww..this adam is yuck..what a prick.
sipper tubes or not..he is a gross individual .
let him think what he wants and waste more and more space telling us about himself and how great he is..
casey..your way too good of a person to waste time on it.
 
Full names Kim, simple rules try to follow them.  Casey, I'll be nice and not talk about our conversations.  Look forward to you being yet another groupie.

Hey adam...go put some glasses on.

Quit "Assuming" that it is not.

That's funny.....Weren't you complaining about rodent pros shipping practices?
You have also been exposed as a HYPOCRITE

You say we are full of assumptions.
Look at this thread.  The very beginning.  Some guy asks what he can do.  So we tell him the necessarry steps.
Then you come on assuming that we thought you were bad.
You assumed that the "band wagon" is out to get you.
So I guess only Adam Block is allowed to assume.
Only Adam Block can be a "slow" shipper

I will now let your own quote answer your question for you.
You wanna know why the whole world thinks you falsely apologized?  First I will copy and paste your apology.</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Neil, speaking with you was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.  Thank you SO much for taking the time to not only enlighten me but to show me the error in my ways.  In this particular situation I was 100% at fault and have not only failed to communicate but also failed to see things from the other persons shoes.  You brought up some great points and they are very much appreciated.  I find you to not only be an outstanding person but a sage beyond your years in intelligence as well.

I do humbly apologize to all who I've bashed or slandered.  You were all 100% correct and I really dropped the ball on this one.  I only hope my reputation isn't too tarnished to recover from.  Ken, I owe you an extra big sorry for the poor customer service I've provided you with and will ship your tubes ASAP, I only hope I can be forgiven.  Rich Z. thank you so much for allowing me to put my foot so far in my mouth that Neal had to step in and save me.  I'm now a changed man and a post like Kens will never happen again as I will strive to keep my customers happy at any and all cost.

I've learned you are nothing without your word and reputation and this has turned out to be a great learning experience for me.  Thank you all for not giving up on me, it took a lot of hindsight to see I wasn't a lost cause.  So in closing thank you all for taking the time to post and please be sure to enjoy your week.

With love, peace and respect,
Adam Block

Gambino you are a very stupid man for trying to bring your points up on here.  They are not in line with the others and for that reason would have to be wrong.  The only other option would be for some of the other regular posters to be wrong and we all know that couldn't be an option.

This board is a very good thing if you do what others want.  If you don't, consider yourself a bleeding pig in a river full of piranha.  You will be eaten alive with no regard for you side of the story and there will be no accountability for their words.

Remember, this board exactly like a court of law without the right to a fair trial.  Being innocent until proven guilty or a right to any type of defense.

My words of wisdom for posting in here are to post one time in a topic and run so your words can only be twisted once.  It also makes it easy on the people that are dodging your questions as they only get asked once and if three of four times it gets harder to avoid the question.

Good luck all, and please note I didn't read pages 2-8 however I agree with the mainstream 100% and I'm sure the prick that started this thread was way out of line.

The outcast,
Adam Block

When I created a separate "Good Guy" thread about Derek Roberts a while back, because the other thread bearing his name had become all about Mr. Block and his failings, Mr. Block wrote this:

"Good choice starting a new thread, as you can see people have a very hard time keeping on track in this board, it reminds me of my 7 year old."

Ignoring for a moment the irony of him "having a hard time keeping on track" on the thread in which he was then posting, Mr. Block has since written this:

"I only hope the webslave can do something to control his loyal fans. In all posts that turn into ones about me, Chad, Derek, Rodentpro and so on I make a comment and the users can't help themselfs but to bring up my dealings from other posts."

Once again, we see the character (or lack thereof) of Mr. Block!  To suggest to the WebSlave that he should control those of us who post in disagreement with Mr. Block, because we can't help ourselves from commenting on him whenever he enters a thread's discussion, after HE, HIMSELF DID THE VERY SAME THING, in a thread about ONE OF THE VERY PEOPLE HE CITED as an example of such hijacked thread topics (Derek Roberts), is either idiocy run amuck, or the evidence of a flaming hypocrite!

There is a term in the Army that is used to describe situations such as the one in which Mr. Block now finds himself, but I no longer use such language.  Suffice it to say that Mr. Block is trying his best to attract attention to himself, and, in so doing, has caused himself to look rather foolish for his childish attitudes, in my opinion.  He believes that he cannot be harmed by his little game, but that is a hypothesis that will never be proven one way or another.  What IS known, is that he has shown himself to be less than honorable and a total hypocrite.

I will not deal with him on ANY level, except to continue to post here (and ONLY here, about him) as his hypocrisies continue to mount.  Mr. Block is seeking the spotlight.  He shall have it.
 
Drum roll Pleeeassssssse!!!!!!  The posts in context:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">I debated as to whether this post should go under the previous thread that questioned Derek's practices in another deal.  I thought at first that it should because this is a post that is about Derek's practices as that thread was, but I decided to create a new thread because the previous one really began to be about Adam Block more than about Derek Roberts.  If the WebSlave determines this thread needs to be moved under the other, that's fine with me.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

Thus opening yourself up to comment on weather or not it was a good idea.  Responce:

Pathetic isn't it?

Adam Block
 
Hey Dr. Einstein,

I was not commenting about whether it was proper for you to address the acceptability of starting a new thread for Derek.  That was obviously fair game.  I did bring it up due to my hesitancy of starting the new thread.

What I WAS pointing out was that you determined to make a swipe about others having difficulty keeping on target in their posts, and, in so doing, had difficulty keeping on target in YOUR post!  Derek's "Good Guy" post had absolutely nothing to do with the tendancy that many seem to wander from topic to topic in their writings, but YOU brought it up as you chastized them for doing the same thing.  Hypocrite!

Now you want the WebSlave to stop others from doing what you do?  Maybe you should ask him again to please ban you for your own good?  It's possible that he's more amenable to the idea now, given your hypocrisy at every turn.

However, feel free to ignore all of this, and also feel free to point your fingers at others for doing what you do at nearly every turn.  After all, this is what hypocrites do by definition.
