Is NAHI referring to C.M.I. ????

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

I've seen the words "Master Inspector" many places in the past few years including one of the Pro-Licensing KC ASHI Chapters and a Pro-Licensing ASHI Inspector in Wichita named Jeff Barnes if memory serves me correctly.

And even if the court does order moderation, it will never stand a constitutional free speech challenge.

No, the PA case is a suit initiated by NACHI against only PA members, chapter and PHIC. Michigan is the court that was to hear the case that was settled. The filed a motion in that court to compel NACHI to censor the message board. Apparently they seem to think that failing to do so is a violation of the agreement NACHI and NAHI reached.

The NAHI statement to it's members regarding the settlement seems to show that they have some fundamental misunderstanding of the terms and scope of the agreement they entered into.

Well, unless NACHI has the org. incorporated in Michigan, or the servers or other computer support are in that state, they have no jurisdiction over this message board. Are NAHI's attornies incompetent or just plain 'stoopid'? Aren't Chris and the others in PA, where NACHI originated?

And was the motion ajudicated? If they reached a settlement, and the motion hadn't been ruled on, its moot anyway. Their agreement to the settlement would render it void if it was covered in the settlement sent to the judge.

One would suspect that they are filing the motion on the presumption that the agreement has been somehow violated by NACHI. The judge can look over the agreement and see if censoring the message board was part of the agreement and may be able to enforce it or possibly let the case proceed as if the agreement were void.

If they seek to censor this message board, then it will only
make this board so loud and spread so far, that it will
look like shock and awe in Baghdad again, with all the voices
that will rise up against it.

Go ahead, make my day...
