Are we truly "Alone"?

Is that looking out the window from your padded room?

Pretty good video... looks convincing enough.

But, then again, I could get the same effect if I watched/ filmed my old lady drive across the 12th street bridge.

Richard,

Lewis and I went at it when he we were blood bros too.

He's been quiet for a while and believe me, I didn't miss him.

Come on Michael, you know you missed me, it must have been really boring just replying to posts that you agree with, but then sheep seem to enjoy boredom.

Why don't you come back to the other thread and discuss why your leader won't pay his attorneys?

This thread had nothing to do with your association or home inspection, I'm more than willing to discuss those subjects in threads intended for, or alreadyin existence. Let's discuss them there.

The Business of NACHI and its Dealings with its Contracted Services is the Business of NACHI.

Not being a Member of the Organization, why do you care?

Joe, as I've already explained, Nachi/Nick, you and others claim to be the most powerful Home Inspectors Association in the world, isn't that correct? I don't want to be accused of "fabricating" those claims and don't want to go to the trouble of cutting and pasting statements that show it to be true.

As the most powerful Home Inspectors Association In the World, doesn't Nachi's actions and image reflect on the Home Inspection industry as a whole? Don't the actions, ethics, and morals of those who claim to represent ?10,000, ?8,000, ?7,000 Home Inspectors reflect on the rest of us, especially when their stated goal is to take over the Home inspection Industry completely? When so many Inspectors are sold meaningless certifications that have no true requirements, doesn't that reflect on every other Certification or designation in the industry?

Actually it really doesn't, all the power you claim to have exists only on your message board and among your vendors. Your (Nachi's) statements and actions here and there make good ammo in in any discussion with Realtors, Clients, politicians, etc. when discussing those inspectors who claim "certification" and the morals and ethical standards of the association, by what ever name, that issues them.
http://www.inspectorsjournal.com/for...ion=goto&id=70



But like I said, there are threads here already that are discussing this issue, this one is about a cool video, is it real?

Lewis,

You suggest that NACHI is not the "most powerful Home Inspectors Association In the World". You then suggest "Nachi's actions and image reflect on the Home Inspection industry"

If NACHI lacks significance, how could their actions be reflective on Home Inspectors?

The significance of the Organization has been developed by the Members who post positively as well as the Detractors who continue to make much ado about Nothing. Thanks for your help.

Why? Does monitoring more than one thread on this BB confuse you?

It is good to know that you understand NAHI (spit) is weaker then NACHI, but still you would think that they with all their lawyers, judges & whatnot would be able to force one single home inspector in Florida to conform and acknowledge their victory.

I mean, I mean... Look at all the member resources NAHI (spit) pissed away and through all of it there stands one single Florida home inspector who is defiant and refuses to turn over to the supposed victors that which they claim was won in battle, the NACHI logo.

So just to reiterate... I will never allow you or NAHI (spit) to dictate what logos my company uses, not now, not ever and if you don't like it do something about it, I dare you.

Joe ,

I unsubscribed to that other long chest beating dribble thread. Must We unsubscribe to others as well.

No Joe it doesn't, but as a courtesy to other members of this board I try to keep my bullsh*t confined to one thread, where they can read it or ignore it as they chose. A thread already exists where the subject of your associations actions is being discussed, why do you want to run away from that thread?

The same applies to you Joe B. we already have a discussion going about your threats in another forum, take it there, I gladly give your more statements you can send to the Attorney Generals.

Seems you failed Lewis. See post #5 in this thread.

Lookie at all the NACHI logos posted on this thread. If lewis's interpretation is correct then what do you think that judge would say if in he saw all the disregard folks here had for his high decree?

Furthermore, what about this message board, do you think the judge would force the owner to ban the use of the NACHI logo?

Lewis, do you see the potential shitstorm you have caused here for your new found association. This message board flies high the NAHI (spit) logo and now you have dared and forced others to take a stand in their own personal beliefs.

Was it your intention to drag this message board through the muck & mire of your own miserable existence? You should truly be ashamed of yourself.

Joe B,

It's good to hang onto some things of the past(destine to be a collector item as they disappear.)

How abut posting some Dated pictures of You Company Vehicle ?

My guess is that NACHI will still be going strong well after you have abandoned the idea of being a home inspector and gone back to working under the golden arches.

That is the only difference. Pretty amazing.

No Experience. No Training. No Insurance...Just an Affidavit and a contribution to the Organization's Exam funds.

So what do you suggest makes NACHI less than Certified?

Joe B,

You have such a Vivid Imagination, (Delusional?)

Is that a symptom of your Napoleon Syndrome?

Now about those Dated Pictures ! Show us the Dated Pictures of your company vehicle
proudly displaying the LOGO of your choice.

All the Nachi logos posted on this thread Joe are either your's or the other Joe's, what an army of protesters you have, I'm truly impressed.

Daring and making threats are your thing Joe, just examples of your childish mind. It won't be me who tells you to get rid of your Nachi logo's Joe, and it probably won't be NAHI, it will be Nick so you can fight him to the death, but remember those logos are his, not yours.

Billy, you have to understand that Joe lives in his own little anarchist world where Nachi may still exist, yet except for corporate papers and tax purposes it has been replaced by InterNachi. Joe as you see is a firm believer that life without NACHI is miserable, he must have had a really bad life for the 40 or 50 years before he found happiness in the Flock. he must be afraid of losing Nachi and maybe having to return to his prior life where he must have been so "miserable"

Maybe this was his spaceship that crashed ending the mission Nick sent him on to begin Nachi's Galactic Domination

Figures, I knew you had no guts for the fight, but I figured that now you have NAHI in your back pocket that you might not punk out.

The only thing I can assume is that both you and NAHI are full of girly-men who refuse to fight for your supposed birthright, some victory, don't worry I won't tell your wife.

Viva La NACHI!

Come on Joe, threaten to hold your breath or some other juvenile response that might impress your flock. It's not my fight, I'm only an interested party telling you how I would handle the situation, you seem to take that as a Legal Opinion, is that a compliment? You don't have much to defend yourself with do you Joe except pounding your chest and making threats, you're fighting a battle that you know you have already lost.

Why don't you have "Joe Nachi" tattooed on your a$$, then when you're speaking and someone leans in a little closer to hear what you're saying, they can read it.

Lewis,

Believe me when I say that anyone who has painfully slogged through these threads of yours does not for one moment believe that statement. You lost your membership with NACHI and now you want the whole world to bleed for you and feel your pain.

Furthermore, not only have you lost the support of the NACHI family, you have failed garner any real sponsorship from NAHI, my guess is after they see the type of display you have put on here they want no more to do with you then NACHI does.

Discovering just how pathetic you are has taken most all the fun out of our budding relationship, hopefully you will find another playmate to rage against the machine with soon as I'm bored & tired of you.

Joe.

Please, don't drag me into your ongoing battle.

I'll chip in $5.00 to start the Joe B vs. Lewis C. Extreme Fighting match.

You guys amaze me.

A guy (Lewis) posts a clip of a UFO and you guys turn it into a pissing match over whose club house is bigger and better.

I swear some of you must have a alarm that rings your phone when the words NACHI, ASHI or NAHI pops up on some message board. Then here you all run swinging your swords.

rick

I'll chip in $5.00 to start the Joe B vs. Lewis C. Extreme Fighting match.

Me too if someone promises that both get their typing fingers broken.

Brian, can you make a thread for all the organization crap can go on that the rest of us can just turn off?

I have a few on my ignore list that never contribute anything worthwhile but sometimes otherwise sane people get baited into the crap discussions.

Hi Dom,

Save your money pal, NAHI's newest Director of Public Relations has already thrown in the towel.

Joe.

Hey, I've got it!

All sane people just don't mention or respond to the Nachi, Ashi, etc. bluster. OK?

I know that will mean there will still be a few kooks crossing swords, but maybe if we are very, very, quite they will think nobody is home and leave.

Jim,

I did not start the thread.

Ironic that no one takes offense when these threads are initiated. Everyone seems to be offended when someone responds.

If you don't like these types of threads....
1. Don't start them.
2. Don't read them
3. Don't respond.

Quite simple.

Poor Joe, you spout so much crap about being independent and not caring what others think, yet you don't really even understand the concept. First of all Joe I would have needed to have some support in your Nachi family before I could lose it wouldn't I, I never had much except from the inspectors where I do business, which for the most part I still have. Second I don't know any one who belongs to NAHI and really don't care if they agree with what I would do in their circumstance, they're probably nicer guys than me.

Pathetic Joe is not having the brains to conduct an intelligent argument without almost immediately resorting to name calling and threats. Pathetic is claiming to have sent someone's posts to Attorney Generals as if doing so would somehow threaten me or anyone. Pathetic Joe is pounding the Free Speech, Free Country B.S. and then believing your could do something to stop me or anyone who disagrees with you from exercising those same rights.

We had a similar argument over HI Licensing in Florida, you lost. We had another over SPI Licensing in Washington, a member listened to you and your buddies, and she lost. You celebrated a great victory over NAHI, I said that NACHI had lost, I was right, you were wrong. You're not having a good year Joe and things will only get worse, Licensing season is almost here again and soon good old Nick will tell you to change your logo, he's already sending you the new color InterNachi ones. Poor old Joe, living in Florida but lost in the
State of Denial.

If you have anything pertaining to the discussions about Nachi legal troubles let me know, if you're only going to make your threats and about how you would miss Nachi just send me more of your funny PM's, you know those ones with all your favorite words that make you feel brave.

Jim,

Threads like this are pretty self evident so I agree with Joe Hagarty, if you don't like them then don't participate. Or maybe you just have mixed this board up with one of those religious message boards where everyone is expected to turn the other cheek, that just ain't going to happen here without draconian policing.

There are two types of message boards, one where heated bare-knuckle discussions can take place, and those other boards like ASHI's where nothing of any value gets discussed and everyone is fearful of opening their mouth.

Stop this type of discussion here and this board dies, because, bottom line... No one is interested in advertising on a message board that get no hits.

Joe.

Joe,

How can you justify that this thread was started with the intent of going on and on about yours and others organizations?

I think the title is something about UFO's

You may disagree but back on thread #5 Lewis took a shot & it escalated out from there. Realize that there is always & will forever be tension on this board, so it don't take much to start the fur flying.

We all have our own personal agendas and it seems that they all can't coexist without some discord, some things just ain't fixable and must be lived with.

With out JOE WE all PERISH!!!

Brian, can you make a thread for all the organization crap can go on that the rest of us can just turn off?

If you will read my comments, I concur with your reasoning Mr. Hagarty.

If you don't like these types of threads....
1. Don't start them.
2. Don't read them
3. Don't respond.

Quite simple.

The trouble is that now it seems that many real threads are being derailed into the flaming association war. Not my cup of tea, but I continue to read except when I know there is nothing to learn in a particular thread.

.

There is something to be Learned in Every Thread if not taken to a Personal Level.

There is Information based on Assumptions made being Touted as Fact exemplifying Lies.

Professional Organizations work to assist their respective Memberships. Business and Individual needs are not Universal. That is why there are multiple Organizations.

I have never understood the belief that the position of one Organization is somehow elevated by attempting to detract from another.

If you are a Member and disagree with the direction of the Organization, work positively to effectuate change. If you do not see what you perceive to be needed to ever come to fruition, move on.

Quite Simple. Don't you think?

It is the elephant in the room, that no one wants to acknowledge. Containment might be an option, but it appears that many folks get more pleasure at taking shots on what you have called "real threads". If all you are as you say is here to learn then threads like this should not be an attraction in the first place. I mean just how much inspection knowledge did you really expect to glean from a thread entitled "We Are Not Alone????"?

On this message board I rarely post anywhere other then on the Non-Technical section of the forum. Actually my primary reason for being here at all is to disseminate information regarding home inspector licensing and to garner support for and voice public dissent on all aspects of home inspector licensing, although I must admit the association flame wars do dovetail nicely into my primary goal.

Personally, I would like to stay on topic, that is where the meat is but there are few here who don't have the mental capacity to keep up and their only defense is to resort to attacks on a personal level. All & all that is to be expected in an open forum and the best way to contravene such attacks is by developing a tough skin.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts.

Jim L.,

You got that on The Thread you Started ICC CERTIFICATION.

What a crock.

If you don't agree with Joe or challenge anything he might say you are(fill in the Blanks)

Look at some of his history...He's feeling a little heat and wants to back pedal.

I'm an example of Two face Joe. I'm almost 55 and spent the last 35 mostly as a Structural Designer./ Engineer, and tried to learn something every day.

However according to Joe I'm an imbecilic Burger flipper that knows nothing among other things before he was cautioned to tone it down.

He teaches a Course on ICC Certification ? No thanks ( To Be Justified by Who?)

This is not Rocket Science Gentlemen, It's a great many small details to be learned.
I've meet many people who profess to have driven the past 40,50,60 years but that in its
self does not guarantee that they do it well.

Hate to interrupt but did you guys see the space ship?, wow!
