Reason We Fight Thread Removed from BB

[jpope (Jeffrey Pope, CMI)]

Wow. Now I kinda wish I had read some of the thread. . .

No

Public is where it should have been – I showed the world the true nature of some of our members — Not NACHI

This is one of the costs of freedom – sometimes we must pay

I have no problem with the bar tab even it is a little hit on our fine image

The problem is Richard that it only showed the true nature of the male members of this board, and not all of them at that. You wanted me to participate past the first few posts. Because I chose not to, you and others insisted on holding the conversation for me and speaking for me. I refused to participate in the slime going on and I was slammed for that as well.

@gromicko

This thread was in general, an exchange between 2 members.

Each had the freedom to not participate at all.
Each had the freedom to stop at any time.
Each had the freedom to delete any of their own posts.
Each had the freedom to delete all of their own posts.

They chose to stay in the ring. Who are we to throw in the towel?

Perhaps it is my family heritage that makes me over-sensitive to censorship of any sort. My family controlled, and to some extent still does control, the media for hundreds of millions of people.

Nick, I hope you are not implying that I was one of the two people participating. After the first few posts I stopped participating because of how asinine the whole thing was. I still have the entire thread so if people like Richard want to keep stating that I was the one fueling that thread, then I am more than happy to defend myself in an arena that is more fair to all.

BTW, it’s not censorship if the person deletes their own thread. I would have deleted the thread early on if given the option, but we aren’t even given that option. That’s something that is a right.

I thought I did some of my best poetry on that thread, actually.

[wforsyth (william forsyth)]

It’s a wonderful song and the principle is one we should all cherish.

Some seem to think it’s only the right of all others besides me. I seem to have lost the right to speak for myself and only the males here are allowed to state what my opinions are. Sadly enough they were all liars. Some were not and they suffered the wrath of the Inquisitors as well.

[tneumann]

I thought your poetry was well thought out and funny as hell…amen.

[jbushart (James H. Bushart)]

Now we sit on Friday night,
Down cast and broken hearted.
Our dearest thread, “Why We Fight”,
So abruptly it departed.

But still we have our message board
With chance to make anew
A thread to piss somebody off.
Who knows…it may be YOU!

[tneumann]

Piss me off if you wish
I can take it I can dish

My father was usmc
you should have seen what he did to me

Wendy, Please remember you are in a public area. If your other thread had been in the members area I suspect it would still exist.

In case you missed it, the most objectionable part of the thread had nothing to do with you.

Moving it to the members only section would not have prevented anyone form saying anything (no loss of liberty). Since they were saying it to each other, the issue of it being private or public is not a censorship issue. Deleting the whole thing is, unless all parties consent.

I agree Michael. Unfortunately that doesn’t stop a bunch of people like Richard from blaming the entire thread and all of the actions of everyone else, on me.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

For starters, you have some falacious idea that a bunch of people are even thinking about you.

Second, if you are suggesting that you had no idea the kind of emotional discourse tht would result from such a post, you are either incredibly stupid or unwilling to admit the part you played.

Are you at fault for what those characters said? NO
Do you have some responsibility in the matter? You bet.

Third, the world does not revolve around you.

You injected yourself in this new thread describing what your (alleged) enemies think about you and then proceed to defend yourself from what you say they think about you.

Carrying on both sides of a battle to get attention is just plain nuts.

[wforsyth (william forsyth)]

@rbennett

It has been brought to my attention that I switch sides now and then so let me see if I can express my self very clearly

Nick is right – The thread should should have stayed – It was not NACHI speaking it was the posters and any reader that could not see the difference we should not worry about. When we start burning the books that we do not like we will start to lose the quality of the world that we have.

Yes, I would like all posters to conduct themselves as if their mother-clients-and kids would be reading same but so be it.

I support the deleting of the thread if it was felt that some might end up in a big $$ legal problem that no one needs. If NACHI did not take the action we could have $$ and time spent on something that would not be helping our members. Thus kill the thread

Lets not push posting to a level that requires people to step in and limit this open form. Freedom of thought and speech does have a price – One can say anything they want anywhere they want in a airplane, theater etc. but one must also pay for the ticket. Sometimes that might include some poor meals at the local institution for government hospitality

Your thread should not have been deleted and you should tell the tread deleter so. It gave us insight to the posters that their clients - mother - kids will love to read.

Thank goodness it was posted in the public area for everyone to see and judge

Thank you Wendy for starting such a uplifting and educational thread

You have then talent to throw fuel on a fire at just the right time to keep the flame burning. I admire your skill and dedication to cause.

While I have some problems with your causes, I have and will continue to work for your right to have your causes. I do find that many times that people and groups that are very firm in their causes become the problem but that is just my thoughts.

The people that think that they should not have died in vain are people that think this way on both sides of the battle field – The other side is dieing NOT in vain in their followers eyes every day they blow themselves up. Who do you know that has the same dedication to cause??

Remember many people HAVE died for causes that have been wrong. Including many of members of our own armed services.

Next time you start a controversial thread and fuel it remember that you started it and it had to be deleted.

I hope that no threads related to our profession ever has to be deleted because they are a negative on same

Perhaps threads related to our profession should be the focus of this association

With that thought I wish I had not started a thread in your name. It was not NACHI – it was personal - and that was wrong

Would you perhaps think about also restricting your posts to HI related subjects??

Do your now see where non related subjects can lead? This BB is about NACHI it is not about the ills of the world

One more thing Wendy don’t take the time to post to my post – Just send me a PM if your must because it would be just another case of you fueling the fire. If you do post a reply – your choice – just remember what you started you could have stopped with a few well chosen words at the start of your thread. You are a good word merchant and it would have not been a problem – but you posted and let it ride – your fault for posting something that was not in the best interest of the HI profession –

Hope your next post will be a little more related to NACHI

I know that mine will

Just my thoughts

rlb

I guess I was just imagining this then David eh? Whatever.:roll:

[wforsyth (william forsyth)]

Don’t you have an imaginary Psychiatric Business to run David?

[jfarsetta (Joe Farsetta)]

Wendy,

Post something INSPECTION related.

Please try and respond to threads which are INSPECTION related.

Please bring us some insight with regard to INSPECTION related topics and discussions.

[jschulte (Jeff Schulte)]

And it lives on…

[rwand1 (Raymond E. Wand)]

Okay here’s an inspection related question.

If Wendy is inspecting the roof and no one is around to see her inspect the roof, did she really inspect the roof?

[sstanczyk (Stephen Stanczyk, WA License #221)]

Now Raymond, that wasn’t very nice. (I did laugh). Yes she did inspect the roof. And she was able to tell how old the tree was when it was forested for the shakes, the mill that produced it, the middle name of the roofer that installed it (a neighbor), and that the first home she lived in had a similar roof.

I’m sorry Wendy…too many beers watching football today. :mrgreen:

Shame,Shame Shame, But I have to admit I loved it .
I guess it is exactly what was deserved .
I live In Canada and if you do not want to cut down on the odds of being hit with a snow ball then do not throw any.

Thanks for a great Chuckle.
