Zmcraney,
So you don't like my tone over these things. You don't like I dare to use the competency word or ask questions of these people attempting to get them to think for themselves versus hand them answers. That I don't knock myself out tippy toeing around that me and mine, and other appraisers, get damaged by those in our trade that are participating in taking assignments they don't know how to do. Versus turning such assignments down until after they learn how to do them or have a local appraiser that knows how willing to walk them through it with them as a trainee. Ok, go to the user control and put me on your ignore list if reading my posts upsets you. But remember this, I spend far more of my time still trying to help even when the reality could be I am really participating in damaging the businesses of the appraisers in that area, appraisers that were already competent for these assignments and should be the appraisers that get them, than you spent *****ing to me about my tone or helping either one.
So yes, I have a tone. Yes, I suggest competency is an issue, and that people should be withdrawing until after they have prepared for these assignments... I don't plan on stopping that message to them either. It's the least I owe the other appraisers in their area. But, that is just my opinion. If this makes some potential posters afraid to ask questions, they should consider the circumstances generating the questions a bit better first then, or use the ignore list feature as I suggest you do. Then they can get just the kind-hearted responses from only the most well meaning of forum members. Such as you.
