Personal and Association Attacks

Last year this forum had some turmoil created when a couple members decided they would start attacking others Associations.

This Soap Opera continued for a long time to the point where all involved agreed that the pettiness made all involved in this fiasco look foolish and did nothing to help the public perception of Home Inspection or Home Inspectors.

Recently , though I have been busy with running my growing business , I do stop by and check on how everything is going ,as that is what an Administrator does.

I was shocked to see a certain member whom shall remain nameless , had begun a series of attacks on one of the Associations.

This forum is not edited unless something is so vulgar as to be offensive.

Posts designed to bring down Home Inspection Associations hurt us all and will not be tolerated on this forum.

The offending posts have been removed.

All are free to post as they wish, and Active Rain is a fantastic place to Blog, market, and bring information to others.

Active Rain is not the place to hold grudges and play out personal vendetas in public.

If you read this I thank you for your time in doing so.

What would this world be without personal attacks?

Could we even elect a president of the USA?

Attacking an association is like one attacking the Republicans or the Democrats.

As to censorship it's just wrong.

This post will be deleted at the end of the day.

Scott you know very well that what you did was wrong.

I have seen your argumentive posts at Inspector News , but welcomed your partisipation over here as you do have a few brains in your head when you use them to bring up the industry.

Tearing down , and trying to harm another mans living is low class and beneath your dignity.

I have seen pictures of you and Nick Gromiko arm in arm .and know you do not even believe half the trash you post about NACHI.

I am a member to stay and have ASHI headquarters at my back door.

The local NACHI chapter is famous and much better run than anything Ashi could put out there.

I implore you to stop trying to ruin my career with your bashing , as I take it quite personaly when someone I never even met wishes to take the food and ability to pay my bills away from me.

NACHI is not going anywhere and is not new anymore.

It is filled with past ASHI members whom dis-like the way it is run.

I am also being cyber stalked and if it is whom I think it is , he better be covering his IP address well or a Lawyer will be getting invoved, as I am getting ready to have Active Rain trace him for me.

You have made no effert to contact me privatly , so I assume this is a good way to communicate.

Now grow up........I am not Bushart,but at least he dis-agrees with out attacking me.

You could learn a lesson from him.

Mitch I am not ignoring you , as I can see the smile from here.

P.S the negative comment form was stupid as this post is members only

HI Bob

Please let me know if anything I have ever posted about NACHI is not true... I just do not put the spin on it like Nick does. I have nothing against Nick or NACHI. As for the arm and arm photo, that was all in fun.

Having ASHI HQ in your backyard really means nothing. ASHI moved its headquarters to the Chicago area in 1991 from Washington DC as this is the home for most of the associations in the country.

A word of advice if you will take it; Stop taking everything so personal. Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy. Once you show that you can be ruffled by other, then you have left yourself open for more attacks. I think that you have see this with Dan Harris. Dan is really a nice guy, but he has fun ruffling the feathers at NACHI.

Anyway, perhaps we will meet some day. In fact I will be in Chicago next week. I have a meeting on Friday and Saturday. I fly in on Thursday and leave Saturday night. I'm staying at the Rosemont Embassy Suites. I know that they have a reception hour at 5 PM, I should be at the hotel around 4 PM. My cell # is 615-870-4162 give me a call if you can make it.
