Well there we go, I have you bragging about yourself. That's all interesting. If I wanted to get a JD degree, I could have ... and if I wanted to get a pilot license I could have and so on. Many people can do all of these things. One might argue it is or isn't relevant, but it is indeed interesting to see what appraisers can do.

If you have a California Real Estate Broker's License, a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser license and are an SRA, then that makes you a rare bird. Last time I checked there was only one in my county - me.

If you also have about 30 years under your belt as a software engineer, a degree in mathematics, 5 years in international accounting, ... there may however only be a few in the world.

Whatever you say, you are clearly ... probably ... just about what you say you are. I always like to let people say what they are. They are the best experts on what they are. How good they are at what they are, - well that is often a different story.

The JD and a career in the CHP does fit together. I do not think you belong in appraisal, but could say the same of many appraisers. You need more math and data mining and probably more. My opinion only of course.

Thus of course, you are going to be antagonistic, as I am sure many other members are.

But, Mr. JD/CHP, I think you know how wrong your are. You should be that smart.

You can't do in appraisal what I can. But I can guarantee, I can do what you can. .. But of course you are working way outside your career profession. ... If I am wrong on this issue I'd like to know. For me, my entire career experience fits together very nicely with appraisal, even the accounting - for commercial appraisal. That is precisely why I am doing this in retirement. I really enjoy it. Decimation.
Great Cage fight between the Little Tight Wound Brit and Hot Headed Bert the two Forums Pseudo Intellectuals which by definition is a person who wants to be thought of as having a lot of intelligence and knowledge but who is not really very intelligent or knowledgeable. Two hot heads who need a good smack down. These two mental giants should not be doing appraisals.
  1. Pseudo-intellectuals always think they are right. ...
  2. They seek to impress, not inform For pseudo-intellectuals, it's all about looking good and making an impression. ...
  3. They do not engage in intellectual work. ...
  4. They use their knowledge as a weapon.

Oh, Good Grief - what is your problem. Really?

Pseudo-intellectual: "A person who wants to be thought of as having a lot of intelligence and knowledge but who is not really intelligent or knowledgeable." (Merriam Webster)

So, since you brought this up and have made it an issue, lets ask the question - is Glenn Walker a pseudo-intellectual?

1. The definition of pseudo-intellectual is not that they are people who think they are "always" right, but rather people who simply want others to think they have a lot of intelligence and knowledge. So, you are wrong on that count. That is one point against you right out the door. Oh my God! You ARE a pseudo-intellectual. No?

2. You state they "seek to impress, not inform ..." Wrong again. that is not the definition. Another count against you.

3. You state "they do not engage in intellectual work." Wrong again. 3 points against you.

4. You state: "They use their knowledge as a weapon." That is not part of the definition. 4 points against you -- on every count.

You are pretty poor at this, Glenn.

But the last point is telling. Your whole post is an attack on two members. So, you are using your pseudo-intelligence to attack two other members. And by your own way of thinking you are by your own screwy definition, - a pseudo-intellectual.

Way to go Glenn!!! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! ... Decimation.
 
Thanks bert

Thanks Bert I knew that would wake you two geniuses up and just wanted to pull you two back to the center lines before your big heads started to explode.

You are special Bert.
 
So are you Mr. JD/CHP. I don't know who you are or your full qualifications. But with a JD and CHP experience, maybe you should try to apply for that new position for Bureau Chief at the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers.

Nope. Alreay spent 20 years flying for the state (CHP). The Bureau Chief job requires the person to live in Sac. Too far from our home at the ocean.
