[linkster (Leonard Inkster, CMI)]

linkster has reported a post.

Reason:

This post shows Kevin Wood clearly in breach of the InterNACHI CoE Section III, part 3. He is also in breach of the Certified Master Inspectors CoE, section 2 part c. I cannot rasie this post as evidence to them as this is a members-only section and posting it outside of this area is a breach of the terms of use of the forum.

Whilst I recognise this message board is un-moderated, and the post was made in a members only section, blatant and libelous attacks without evidence on the character of another Inspector, has the ability to damage that inspectors standing within the Inspector community and through word of mouth to a wider audience has serious implications. As the registered community that has access to this forum is presently 41,463, that is a lot of damage that can be done by innuendo and un-subtantiated and unsubstantial claims.

This particular Inspector, Kevin Wood, who is also a CMI, has a consistent and provable history of defaming other inspectors, without due cause other than his own prejudices.

He brings our profession, this organisation and everything it stands for into disrepute, and is doing untold damage to InterNACHI’s, and it’s members, chances of obtaining parity with the other Organizations who seem to be able to manage their members in the upcoming regulations in Ontario. Consistent petty unprofessional behavior like this is playing directly into the hands of the CAHPI/OAHI duo and are likely to mean ALL InterNACHI inspectors are treated with the same low opinion that this individual has so far generated with the powers that be.

This is one of the reasons he was forced to resign as a director of the Ontario Chapter of InterNACHI, OntarioACHI. He is a liability to the profession and any association he is connected to.

At the very least I would like these seditious posts removed. I have consulted legal counsel with a view to taking matters further with this individual.

Please report this to Mark Cohen, NACHI counsel, as he is now overseeing all Ethics Complaints.

Good luck. This bane on the inspection industry should be dealt with properly and finally.

Thanks Stephen, I shall take your advice. In my opinion, Mr Wood is doing untold damage to the prospects of all home inspectors in Ontario. As a holder of the CMI and continuously spouting his seditious diatribe at anyone who upsets him he is bringing the CMI into disrepute. Many Inspectors are reliant on the qualities required to obtain the CMI to go toward a license when regulation comes about in Ontario. Kevin Wood’s actions are ensuring that the CMI is respected less and less.

Not only that! He is insulting and demeaning to colleagues across the border and makes inflamed comments on a regular basis. On the home front, he is insulting to colleagues in different provinces and makes prejudiced comments.

His actions are destroying the meaning of CMI in Ontario and ruining many efforts made by individuals working as proud members of Internachi!

Just curious, when something defamatory is stated in the members only section, I have heard it said that “members are unmoderated” and “it was in the members section” as a way of rejecting the complaint.

Leonard brings up an interesting point when he mentions the inspector’s standing amongst his peers being affected. Why would defamation among a group of inspectors who are members here be any different than defamation in public? We refer one another based on what we know of one another. If defamatory statements damage our reputation among other inspectors doesn’t that cause harm?

YES.
