AQB's latest dumbing down by 'Stakeholders' Dropping the College Degree Requirement

[Mejappz]

They have not done a single thing to disparage the myth of appraiser racism. In fact, they have encouraged the idea.

Not only have they failed to discredit myths, but they have actively fueled them. It's ironic that now the skeptics demand evidence for something that doesn't even exist, effectively assuming guilt until innocence is proven. Lol

 

[George Hatch]

That was my point.

Perhaps I missed that. Sorry. Inasmuch as even one (real) example appraiser bias is unacceptable, any number in excess of zero warrants remediation. Warrants "needs improvement".

How do you discredit the "myths".

Thanks for bragging about your credentials Frank like anyone here cares. What would you call this?

"As a reminder, your original claim was that the Foundation lobbied the Florida Legislature on some issue. I called BS and stand by that statement. An examination of the seventymillion posts made reiterating your claim the TAF has spent eleventy billion on lobbying, there has not been one with a credible, verifiable source to identify where the alleged lobbying was done, who did the lobbying, was it TAF staff or a paid lobbyist, and what the issue was."

Well, you sure told me. Dave Bunton wrote a letter. I will pay my penance and hang my head in shame.

That does not quite measure up to your claim. "Considering your newfound role as TAF's official mouthpiece on The Forum, could you provide a detailed breakdown of how TAF allocated its resources, particularly over a million dollars in lobbying fees, and did TAF consult with appraisers on how those funds were to be used?"

That's called lobbying which is what I've been telling you they've been doing all along.

Look at it this way. NAR is taking up for their members. Who pays NAR? Did TAF take up for their members?

Or does TAF take up for wherever they get paid from?

How can they rebut a specific example without conducting their own comprehensive review thereof? Not just at TAF but anywhere in the appraisal business. How can you commit in advance and without a personal examination to an opinion on a specific example like that without taking chances with your own credibility? You only have to be incorrect about the facts one time in order to fuel your opposition's criticism of your credibility.

Don't you find it interesting that the very same people who always demand evidence when criticizing TAF or others in power have no problem asserting that appraisers are racist? They insist 'show me proof,' yet won't allow that myth to be dispelled. What's good for the goose... Lol

 

[Zoe]

Don't get me going on commingling of fees.

 

[Zoe]

Too late. TAF could write a letter to Mr. Chopra (CFPB) on commingling of fees? I haven't seen that letter.
