Reported Post by dfowler3

[dfowler3 (David Fowler)]

dfowler3 has reported a post.

Reason:

Please refer to the original posed questions, and the first three responses to those questions. This was my first post as a new member, and I was surprised to find the first two responses to my posed topic and related questions were not only irrelevant, but frankly, rude and offensive – not just to me, but to another member who had nothing to do with the post. I report this not because I am afraid of being offended, but because this kind of negativity doesn’t reflect the kind of culture that InterNACHI has done such an incredible job of creating. I believe it is important not to sensor the message boards, and that the tough conversations are sometimes the most helpful and productive. This does not fall into that category.
As for the Code of Ethics, I am referring to III.3 and III.5 (III.5 references the Forum Rules: “Personal attacks…which are profane and meant to defame our membership, will not be tolerated.”
This being my first post, if this is the kind of negativity and irrelevant harassment I can expect going forward, I could just go over to Facebook, it’s free. I expected constructive conversation (which it should be noted, I got a few very constructive and helpful responses as well).
If this individual responded so brashly to this post, I can only imagine what other negativity he has brought the the message boards, and that is the main reason I report this post; The culture on the website is one of encouragement and high standards, every inspector raising the bar for the next, this post does not fit.

Never heard of him. Maybe he’s “up North”, or brand new to the business.

Just curious how he can afford to expand a company that has a his listed web address being a dead link, and another inspector of the same name, (family-daddy?) in a different city, that has a f’ed up company name… that I wouldn’t ever hire because of it.

It’s sorta funny that it took you almost a week to decide that you had an issue and to figure out how you were going to word your ‘complaint’ for maximum effect. Are you sure you got in all the ‘keywords’ and ‘triggers’ to get Nachi’s attention? If I didn’t know any better, I’d bet a certain Canadian or two prompted and coached you on how to do this.
Anyway, I guess it’s not okay for anyone to ask questions or have an honest opinion on this MB if it doesn’t fit your agenda?
Interestingly, your post does exactly what you accuse me of, so IMO, you are a hypocrite.
Good luck to you in your endeavors, and I would say something like ‘talk to you later’, but somehow, I doubt that will happen!

If I looked bald with a Taliban style beard it wouldn’t displayed on my website.
I guess it’s OK for a part time inspector.
Just some friendly marketing advice.
