I see. Well, you didn't honestly think that I was going to join the lack of professionalism or courtesy displayed by members of two sites, did you?

I'm not going to bash plumbers or electricians...I might need to ask them for help some time in the future when I'm doing plumbing and electrical work on my jobs.

As a Mod over there all I can say is it is for plumbers only, If I set a ban on you it's only cause I was doing my job. It seems some don't read the reregistration boxes, if you can't read then suffer the consequences.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch


You know, if you guys feel so left out, why don't you go start a "remodelers only" forum so that you won't feel left out of the club.

And as a professional courtesy to another fellow contractor, especially one who spent many years on this site as a Moderator, you and anyone else with that callous attitude showed what a lack of class you all have.

He didn't come on to your forum asking about any plumbing service issue, but rather for a strategic marketing and service point of view.

The word "Professional" should be stricken from the logo on that site from the public azzinine display that was shown.

Your lack of a Neutral perspective taints your title as a Moderator, who's primary duty is to keep the members in line, rather than act in such a disgraceful manner and stand up for the shenanigans.

You have dishonored yourselves in the eyes of many other contractors who have witnessed your shameful display.

Would you have jumped in and stated the same opinion if it were Nathan who had posed the marketing question?

I think plumbers are a bit high on rates per hrs they actually work but if you find one that shows up on time when needed he's worth it.

$1900? Thats really cheap. Are you using a Licensed PLumber? Sounds to me like you got a part time hack doing plumbing.

Re: Plumbers Are A SNOOTY Bunch


If you do plumbing regularly for money and are licensed then you are welcome there. I would say you qualify bwalley.

I guess it's not so easy to understand after all.



I sure hope that none of the Plumbers that are registered on that site never changed a light bulb in their own home, or else they too would not then be allowed to post over there.



Now, it looks like someone on that site is trying to incite the other members to feel as if we were talking about them behind their backs.

No, from my perspective, my comments were only directed to the plumbers who stooped rather low on the scale of professionalism. The brush of disgrace is only intended for those that acted in such a childish manner, or possibly those that would have if they had the further opportunity.



At least one voice of clear headed thinking and sane reasoning can be heard from one of there members, before this becomes a feeling that one group is against the other as a whole.



Before they come over on this site, they should heed the advice given in this thread:

http://www.plumbingzone.com/f13/were...plumbers-4880/

.....Which was wise and respectful indeed.



For that, I personally applaud Mr. PlumbCrazy for being the first to exhibit a higher degree of respect, where little or none was shown previously.



Ed

Oh my goodness.....I just Love it when someone tries to prove that they are smarter than others.

I won't even dare attempt to point out whom has the lack of intelligence?

Okay, let's quit with the, "Us Against Them" banter before someone gets hurt and loses an eye.

Truce?
