Dave Bottoms is a slme Ball

[Roy D. Cooke, Sr]

Dave Bottoms has tried so hard to destroy NACHI and his continuing posts on the Canadian sites about NACHI has only helped NACHI to continue to grow in Canada.
He has convinced some of the OAHI/CAHPI directors how he is right and NACHI is wrong that unfortunately could lead to the colapse or huge changes in the Canadian associations.
So Strange how these learned people have been led down the garden path to destruction by a person who after 8 years is still not a home inspector .
He has convinced many to ignore the rules of the Canadian associations .
He is nothing but a slime ball and a trouble maker who is far from an asset to the Canadian Home Inspection Industry.
I expect I have done more inspections this year then he has done in his life time .
He follow no rules except his own that he seems to make up as he goes along.

Re: Persecution of NACHI-OAHI Members for use of CHI
Rob,

I have to caution you, anything you say or post will be used against you by OAHI.

OAHI is sinking in its own filth. It has destroyed any chance it had of successfully defending any and all actions against me. The proof is overwhelming of corruption and abuse of power.

BTW have you seen the quarterly reports as required under the by-law?

I asked on the OAHI CAFE forum where I could go see the records, but to no avail. I guess they don't want to explain the lack of accounting which they are obligated to provide.

I think Dave Bottoms is helping NACHI by sending OAHI members here so that they can read the truth. You can't get the truth at OAHI but you can get it here.

Thanks for speaking up that takes guts.

Re: Persecution of NACHI-OAHI Members for use of CHI
Just to prove some in OAHI have special status, and OAHI knowingly is condoning it.

Very strange how a associate member who has utter threats, is able to keep on going like the Energizer Battery!

Also peculiar is the fact that when it comes time to file a complaint he backs away. Do you suppose thats because he has no evidence and that the by-laws do not back up his often repeated claims?

Gerry,

These rules seem to be in conflict with the by-laws, perhaps you could clarify them, and how decisions are made with no right of appeal. This runs contrary to the afforded rights in the by-laws and I believe members are entitled to appeal such wide latitude in directives that are not based or supported via the by-laws.

Thanks for the new rules, Gerry.

I would like to lodge a complaint against one of our fellow forum members. It seems one of my OAHI private forum posts was placed on a U.S. public forum for all to read.

http://www.nachi.org/forum/showthread.php?p=96483#post96483

Thank you.

COMPLAINT #2:

The following link was provided on a public forum by one of the members of this forum, contrary to the rules. The link shows a copy of a private OAHI forum post made by one of our members.
http://www.nachi.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=5990&d=1160073515

And here is a link to the public forum in question (scroll up three or four posts):

Thank you, Ms Lalich, will do.

With all due respect:
Actually, after sleeping on it, I don't think I will make that complaint after all. The people to whom I'd be complaining are on this forum and can see for themselves that the mole is breaking the rules. They shouldn't need me to tell them what they already know in order to take action. To suggest one must file a complaint first implies that the rules only come into play if someone lodges a complaint, otherwise it's a free-for-all.

The person has broken the rules. I know it, you know it and the people who enforce the rules know it. Feel free to take action if you wish, or feel free to do nothing. Whatever you think is in the best interests of the members who use this private forum. Far be it from me to tell you or anyone how to do your job.

Again, no disrespect intended, just calling it like it is. Your mileage may vary.

Really could care less about Dave Bottoms.
The thing I do not like is his continually lying about NACHI on Bill Mullens BB and the OAHI BB.
This is a guy who breaks many rules .
He has been a member of OAHI/CAHPI ( ASHI NORTH ) for 8 years.
The OAHI rules state you can only be an associate for 3 years .
The rules state you need to do 100 inspections to advance to an RHI .
He obviously has not managed to do 100 inspections in eight years that one inspection every 40 days.
He has caused more great inspectors to leave the industry then any one else I know .
He loves to spread hate and incorrect information.
He now is trying to sell his own computer program for home inspections for $1,000:00 ( would you buy a program from a guy who does not know how to do an inspection .
He continually takes Information from the NACHI site and changes it to make NACHI and its members look bad and post's it to the other sites.

Thanks for your support.
That might improve things .
The best would be for the removal of the compete BOD they have shown complete ignore all rules OAHI and the Canadian government rules .
I seems CAHPI is not much better.
Looks to me like NACHI members are the only Home Inspectors treated properly by their association.
