John,
You are my hero. 
You know, with the nonachi blog shut down and the inability to trash us on our own board, I can think of a handfull of idiots that are going to have their heads explode.

Thank you. Long overdue and gratefully welcomed. I know it was probably a tough decision to close off parts of the BB for all the obvious reasons but maybe now the whiners and detractors will have to go someplace else to wring their hands and do their shrieking.

Please bear with me while I indulge myself…
Hello, Dave Bottoms. I know that you are reading this post. I can see you sitting there, with your nose pressed up against your monitor, screaming...
I want you to know that everything that Roy Cooke and Ray Wand said about you is factual and accepted as truth by everyone in the US and Canada. I know, also, if you were able to post a response, you would agree with me and you would want to thank them for helping you see the light. You would want to apologize to them for being so rude and obnoxious.

No Mr. Bushart. I'll be damned if I will just sit quietly while you "indulge" yourself!
At best, your post is "unsportsmanlike conduct". At worst, it's just juvenile taunting best suited for a school playground. I have no problem with what was done...sadly it was necessary...but there's no excuse, or need, for your response.

It might not have been proper protocol for James to do this but I do agree with what he said .
Dave Bottoms has done just what he wanted to do hurt NACHI.
Dave has been malicious and vindictive from the get go.It is so unfortunate that it has come to this , now many of the public can not make post's, ask questions and get answers.
Dave has made many posting on the Canadian Canuk list belittling NACHI and has never helped one person on the NACHI site .
You can be sure he and a few who fed him material are gloating.
The Canadian organization are upset to see how well NACHI is doing in Canada with their helping all inspectors.

Like the Misc. forum has been for some time, non members may read the tech forums, Misc, Nachi, State Legislation, etc. but will only be able to post in the tech forums.
There is now a forum called "Spam" where the detractor posts, arguing posts by the likes of Elaine, Dave B., Ed, etc. will be moved in no particular order if they show up in the tech forums.
Now maybe we can get back to civility, except when we bash one another!

The part that hurts us the most is I expect we will loose those who had great information for us all to use and enjoy.
I can think of two in particular.
I do hope that they register and continue to help all it is much appreciated .
I have received a private Email from Dave and he seems to be ecstatic.

We didn’t do this because of Dave, we could have easily blocked him. With over 6000 members, it is time for this to be the members board. We had many members who didn’t want to watch the whining and sniping of the nonmembers.
We will still be able to receive information in the tech. forums from those truly interested in helping our members. We just won't have to wade through the Dave and Ray arguments, Gil's crapola, or other swipes and snipes by the regular detractors.
This is for NACHI, not the nonmembers.
And if Ray decides to join, he can tell us all he wants about Dave.

This is a great move on nachi’s part to stop people from getting on this bulletin board and trashing its members and the organization. I have recently stopped looking at the board because of all of the crap that was being placed on it by non-members. This is should make this forum worth reading again for all of us.

This is a good step in a professional direction for NACHI. Inspectors are welcome to join and contribute, and to criticize in a way that leads to positive change. Nonmembers are welcome to read and learn. Thanks to the folks who made this needed change!
