I’m only aware of one instance where I thought he went way, way over the line. That is when he decided to go into competition with PRO-LAB by hiriing away PRO-LAB’s two top employees (lab director and sales manager) on the same day he opened his lab in the same town in Florida, 1,200 miles from Indiana. Had he done that to me, I’d have found a phone booth or bought a burner phone and put the order through (if you know what I mean).
Competition is good. He could have opened his lab in Indiana, found someone qualified to run it, and interviewed good people for his sales manager position.
JM doesn’t like that I point out that his actions were perfectly legal.
Nathan doesn’t like that I point out that his actions were completely unethical.
That’s my thinking and has been since Nathan did it.
Nick, your weak attempt at another spin is useless once again. Nobody ever said anything about selling on nachis site, well except for you. The ads on the newsletter are paid for thus Nachi does make money and do biz with Nathan. What you choose to do with that money is up to you, but the fact is you do indeed do biz with him, your nonsense garbage spin is just that, …stop making yourself look silly as the money trail continues to flow.
You may call it a non profit organization that has nothing to do with the fact that it does collect money from many sources thus the ability to be the source of income for its operation expenses etc… stop trying to say Nachi doesn’t bring in and spend money.
Hey Nachi is your toy, if you want to be known for doing business with someone that stabbed you in the back and sues nachi inspectors that is certainly up to you…heck its your decision to play with whomever you choose to have as your friend. I think I even still have some emails where you said you and Nathan were lovers, and he was So Big…LOL I still crack up when I read them.
Thanks again for your entertainment, you crack us up.

Well at least you can admit that you do business and promote to your members vendors that you feel their actions are “Completely Unethical” Now that sure helps those in doubt see the light…
Jim, you’ve once again confused me and my personal opinions with that of InterNACH’s position. They are not one and the same.
Anyway, I’m not your momma.
Some members use his products, some don’t. InterNACHI simply provide the platform that provides information members may find useful to make up their own minds about every vendor. And apparently members come to very different conclusions based on that information. You don’t seem to be OK with that. I am. You are all big boys.
Again, nothing but a lame attempt at diverting away from the point. Nice try but another epic fail.
If I have confused Your opinion with that of the “Nachi platform”, then please tell us exactly who at NAQCHI feels that it is ok to promote(on NACHIs newsletters) products of Nathan Thornberry ?
At least we have the opinion of Nick Gromicko, the Founder of InterNACHI stating that he personally feels that “Nathan Thornberrys actions were completely unethical”
It’s just not a service InterNACHI provides. Here, read down the list of www.nachi.org/benefits.htm Where do you see in that list, a service offered whereby InterNACHI determines which vendors are ethical and which ones aren’t? We just don’t offer what you’re looking for.
Maybe another trade association offers that service and can help you. We don’t. We only provide a platform that allows information (see post #1 of this thread) to be available for YOU to read and decide for YOURSELF.
Michael, that COE doesn’t apply to non-members such as Nathan or Paris Hilton (how could it? they aren’t members here). Read the first line of the link you posted and the first line of the excerpt you posted slower: http://www.nachi.org/vendor-ethics.htm
Michael, read the second line of your excerpt. It says
It directs you to Vendor Code of Ethics - InterNACHI® Click on it and read the first line slowly. It doesn’t apply to non-members such as Nathan or Paris Hilton. How could it? Neither Nathan or Paris Hilton are members.
If a member bough Paris perfume from Paris Hilton and it stunk like a skunk, there is nothing in our vendor COE that would provide InterNACHI any tools to help that member get a refund. I can’t threaten to kick Paris Hilton out of InterNACHI is she isn’t a member.
