My membership was to have a place to discuss real inspection issues, not to brag about or discredit one organization or the other. If you are a good inspector the association makes no difference unless you need to hide your inadequacies behind a the association label.

I believe most of this mumbo jumbo about which association is best is just vendictive and hurts the industry as a whole. IMHO.

Sometimes it sounds like children arguing over who has the best imaginary friend. Big Deal! Let's all work together to make our industry respectful and professional.

I have never booked or lost an inspection because I was or was not a member in any of the associations. I am running a business not trying to prove to the world that one association is better than another.

If we all speak and perform professionally we will all get the respect we have earned and not have to argue about it. It's not what association you belong to that matters. Its the client's opinion that matters.

Just my 2 cents worth!

I have not been an angel myself over the years, but I hate to see the deterioration. There was a time I couldn't wait to get home and be a part of this community. Sure we had some good fights back then too but things just are not the same. For those of you who have only been here 2-3 years you have no idea how much things have changed so please stop acting like you do.

Well Blaine, at least we know how it was decided.

From the time I first found this board, something didn't add up with the Cheap'n Easy "certifications" and all the free shiny items to bedazzle. Slowly for a while and now more quickly recently, I've seen truths revealed and then posts/threads deleted. Has this org really changed or is it that the truth is just now coming out of the bunker?

You guys tell me!

There is a sense of mistrust in the air. I sense everyone on pins and needles trying to figure what in the world is going to happen next. This is sad because it's very hard to rectify.

When Nick has fully implemented the "truth filter" and is successful in eliminating posts and threads from non-members that uncover and reveal the defects that need to be repaired....it will be up to those who live in the house and genuinely care about it to see that these are continued to be mentioned until repaired.
