I am making a formal complaint.
I will not turn my cheek.
I have apologized to all for my selfish behavior when I arrived with a chip on my shoulder. Several times and to each member. I was wrong.
-
The InterNACHI member shall abide by InterNACHI’s current membership requirements.
-
The InterNACHI member shall abide by InterNACHI’s current message board rules.
-
section 3 of the InterNACHI Standards of Practice pretty much covers how an INACHI member must act on and off the Message Board.
SORRY FOR THE SPELLING ERRORS AND LONG POSTS.
If that is what you hold against me, than I feel sorry for your lack of understanding, COMPASSION, AND SHORT SIGHTED ATTITUDE…
Educating oneself takes time.
Sorry for trying to better ONESELF, carry my head high, and promote InterNACHI.
Maybe everyone should read the Standards of Practice once again.
**After that start practicing what you read.
**
This may formalize certain individuals with the appropriate actions one must ***maintain ***on the message board and in public eye and in there business practice.
All I was trying to point out is that ***slander and accusations ***may be damaging to an indavidual.
Damaging in so many ways that only individuals as myself for example or others that have gone through thew terrible experience of fighting for your honor have to go through because a person decides to slander someones good name.
Dam some of the smartest Home Inspectors here are the weakest moral InterNACHI association members I have ever witnessed.
That is way there are laws Stephen, Michel,*** Linas*** and any other
INACHI member that thinks I should shrug this off.
Your convictions to your SOP and to INACHI is less then commendable. Think about it before you reply.
THAN READ A TRUE STORY.
**I was falsely accused of tax evasion, no licensing and drug use. **
Accused of false deeds when working beside OUR Quebec Premier HOME for an outstanding influential member of a prominent bureau in Montreal.
I beat all the competitions bids.
An architect, contractor and lawyer where called in during my work to see if these allegations where true.
It was the start to an never ending battle for my honor.
The client spent 20 thousand plus thousand for no reason. Using deceitful and under knowledge short sighted contractors.
Little side line to my proficiency. Sorry but needed in my opinion.
There conclusion to my 4 hour estimation ( free ) and with pictures as proof.
Totally valid fairly priced contract and that he was lucky to have an honest tradesman.
Doing photos estimations for 10 years now. They came during phases of the contract to witness the job.
Not the first time. I always passed as they passed comments to me. Where did you learn how to work so many trades efficiently. You over build.**
**
That is why I am here. To help the the population of Montreal educate themselves. To aid those in need.
GET IT.
I paid dearly after. He steeped up his attack and the government went along for the ride.
I lost tens upon tens of thousands. and Lost productivity that year and it ended in October with 3 weeks of season left to make money to pass the winter by.
Remember legally paid employees, 2 men that had to sustain a living could have been possibly laid of. I sent them to work with a competitor.
So now tell me about ***slanderous accusations ***and hearsay again.
I doubt this swayed many minds here.
READ YOUR SOP. Then practice it.:twisted:
