There are rules that every member on this board has agreed to when they registered and a policy to enforce them.

I suggest EVERYONE read them again as the policy has recently changed.

You can find the "Announcement: ** IMPORTANT ** Board Rules Infraction System/Policy " at the top of the threads in every forum.

thanks for reiterrating that Brian, is starting to turn into a bashing contest again.

Wasn't even a part of it... can't tell you what thread it was.

But I can probably guess that it probably has something to do with a monkey, a midget, a clown, a white rabbit (invisible type), a diamond ring or a bad inspector.

What'd I win???

I have learned that for me the best way to abide by the rules is to post my opinion and not try to defend it. I have gotten carried away in the past and it is not worth it. And I apologize to Brian for previous violations.

Brian, You know that Inspection News is my favorite and only home inspect web sight and I have been a member from its inception. I like to read the posts every day and have expressed my opinion about the posts and posters without conviction. I like to think that I'm fair about my opinions and convictions and have received many e-mails from other posters to that effect. The recent posts that call me derogatory names and gestures from cute images are un called for. I can take a lot of joking and kidding, but this has gone to far. Please remove posts #23, #25, #43, #45 under Wes Owens post " Flipping on the side " and remove Aaron Miller and Richard Rushing from the board. We would like to see that you mean business. Thanks Tony Mount

To Whom It May Concern (i.e. not anyone in particular, Tony):

Gosh, I simply must p-r-o-f-u-s-e-l-y a-p-o-l-o-g-i-z-e for speaking my mind! I sometimes forget that we are living in P.C. 1984, ala "W" and friends. Free speech is passé. Doing anything, even speaking freely, is only to be tolerated in the name of profit. Profit makes everything alright: war, crime, dishonesty, et al.

Shine on, dime-dropping, diamond-polishing, huntin', fishin', run-to-church-on-Sunday-rip-off-the-general-public-on-Monday . . . piece of work.

My bold.
You have expressed your opinion about posts and posters without conviction? What does that mean?

Looks like a few of your regulars are having a little trouble meeting your standards, Brian.

I find them refreshing.

Brian,

Now that *Tony* has brought up specific names on people to remove, simply removing "Tony" would eliminate the need to remove the others.

Tony make derogatory remarks and comments about others and their ideas, then cries like a baby when his toes are stepped on.

Mind you, Tony brought up naming names, and, as such, should be the first name on the 'to be removed' list.

Jerry...Brian has solicited this "naming of names" that you seem to object to.

From his notice:
"...an infraction will be given to any individual who's post (posted on or after 02/26/08) has been reported to me by another member..."

Tony is simply complying with the directive.

Or is it your interpretation that only you, as you have done in the past, are the one who can influence Brian to act against someone else?

I'm going to make this simple. I will not post to this site for 30 days. Maybe not ever again.

Aaron

Tony - Look up the word hypocrite. Then look in the mirror.

Harvey,

Please point to the place in there where Brian says to do so in public.

Doing so in public really does fulfill the *do not do these things* listed in the list - doing so in public hits virtually every single one of these, thus, Tony should be the FIRST ONE removed:

"Defamatory, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, and/or threatening"

White Rabbit, or Invisible White Rabbit, (not sure which)

I have as much influence on Brian as I did on Nick.

Now tell me, exactly how much influence did I have on Nick?

His silence on public or private complaint leaves it to the discretion of the person making the complaint. At least a public complaint allows the party being complained about to address it....which would probably only bother the cowardly complainer.

Apparently, your influence on others is not all that much, as you have so aptly pointed out. I stand corrected.

Gee Harvey ( James ) (Rabbit ) (Hump) whoever.

How you control Your Message Board would be up to how you want to run it.

I've noticed you are long on comment, short on subject and deflect questions as if they were not asked.

If you followed Raymond here in the hopes to discredit him you have done the opposite.

If you have something constructive to contribute.

Please start the Thread.

If you only have old axes to grind why not take it elsewhere?

Otherwise us old common HI's might think you are here for your own personal political
agenda.

Understand what?

Does your mommy and daddy know that you are playing with their computer, Billy?

Mr. Hempelstern,

Both my Parents are dead.

I got your PM and I don't know you either. As to you not caring about my opinion I'm not seeing anything useful from yours.

I understand your only reason to pos
