Kevink: we are not inferring you or basic members at the Institute are not valuable or that your comments should be discounted. We are merely suggesting that you are judging Adam based on inferences and inconclusive information. Many basic members have contributed a lot here, such as lynx, cosmos, and several others. We are only
suggesting that comparing Adam's contribution here to others' when you do not know Adam or Adam's history here or why he was banned is a little presumptuous.
Adam never said he did not operate a business. Previous posts made to inform folks of updates to the status of his business were removed by LifeMirage even though they were presented to Leadership prior to being posted, and we are trying to move forward from that incident. After all, we cannot stop living our lives temporarily just because the LM issue just went down.
Adam only "attacked" companies whom mislead and potentially endanger consumers by importing questionable products from third world countries and never subject them to any third party analysis. As you can see, he is quite pleased that Relentless Improvement is testing their products as now he is not the only one performing independent analyses on these imported products. Furthermore, Pete has performed more extensive analyses than Adam, so he has his foot in his mouth (for now at least)...
Adam did not know Steve Sliwa (uniquenutrition) was colluding with LifeMirage until the findings of Leadership's investigation were recently posted; this is new information, and rather compelling information to us as well. We only held that LM was a compulsive liar whom misrepresented himself for personal and financial gain. Adam knew the truth about LM's life story about a month ago, and instead of gossiping to the entire world about it Adam alerted Leadership. Adam only became publicly involved when LifeMirage falsely accused Adam of plotting to murder his "daughter." What you might not have known is that Adam asked LM to come forward privately a week prior to alerting Leadership, so when LM was confronted on these terms he knew Adam was to blame (thus the personal attacks).
Oh, and Don: Adam's company is only now in its fifth month of operation; he was shut down actually for longer than he's been around...we'll see where he's at after six years...
