When it first went up I think it was open to all, now it has been changed and is open only to members .
I have had discussions with the (CAHPI) web master. Yes Roy, it was open for a trial run. Than along came a debate that led to trashing - hence the CAHPI National Board and web master closed down the Discussion Forum. I will not get into the exact details but let's leave at the same few who often exchange nasty comments right here.
So it was changed and will be monitored, to avoid such open invitations for airing dirty laundry and name calling.
Thanks Claude.
This is so unfortunate I do not think I saw any trashing or Bashing.
One person opinion on Bashing and anothers are not necessary the same .
Some seem to feel I am have been bashing OAHI .
My main concern with OAHI was not following the rules by mainly the BOD and some members.
No one attended OAHI meeting more regular then me .
No one was a bigger supporter of OAHI then me.
No one gave more ideas on how to improve OAHI then me.
Where I finally realized OAHI was not for the members was when I was at one off the Committee meetings
I sat on and I suggested we have a meeting to present the ideas we had to the membership.
I was asked how we would pay for the hall .
I said take it out of the coffers as it is for the membership.
I was told No way all extra meetings must pay there own way or OAHI will never be able to afford to buy their own building .
I was dumfounded and went quiet while I digested what I had just heard .
I stated am I hearing information I should not be hearing and got no answer.
I asked again and got no answer.
This was when the light bulb came on and I could see that OAHI is going nowhere with this attitude.
Fortunately many OAHI members have discovered this Forum and come down to learn what they can.
I am sure you know many are disappointed with how OAHi treats the membership.
I have listened and am sure you have too how OAHI is going to get better .
Unfortunately they have lost some great inspectors some have joined NACHI some none association and some have just given up.
I am sure you can see the membership is not growing at the top it stays very flat .
I expect Dave will jump in as he is the self appointed expert for OAHI . Strange how you chastise me and others but seem to tolerate Dave and his very fowl mouth .
I refuse to even acknowledge him any more he is OAHI's problem and he sure makes them look great .
Yep, here I come, Roy, ready or not.
Here's a little story for ya: I used to belong to the Toronto Chapter of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) but one day discovered that the leadership was in big trouble, it was all over the local newspapers. The prez had to step down and an investigation was launched, yadda yadda yadda. You know what I did? I quit. Sort of like you did with OAHI, right?
But you know what I did that for some inexplicable reason you have been unable to do? I moved on. This is the very first time I've ever mentioned the BBB since I quit many years back. And you know what? I don't lose a minute's sleep over it.
So, my advice to you would be to "let it go" and "get some sleep." You are not a member of OAHI and have no idea what's going on over there, yet you can't help but mention our association almost daily. You even sign off using our association's acronyms. I honestly don't know why you are so hung up about everything OAHI and CAHPI, but you really should try to put it to bed, for your own mental health. You hang on to the past for dear life to the point where you are simply unable to recognize that this is now and that was then. Rehashing your version of OAHI's history does no one any good, especially you.
Now, for the record I'm not chastising you, only pointing out your obsession in an effort to help you recognize that you've got a problem that needs to be fixed. Get help and get better, please.
Dave
