It doesn't further your argument, or provide any insight into the Cuppy's Coffee situation. Further, your specific attacks are pretty weak. First, he was employed (according to his published bio) by the Dwyer Group for 5 years. If he "never amounted to much" I doubt they would have kept him on for that long. Additionally, if the "higher up" consultants a Cuppy's / Medina got a bad report, why did they hire him? Why were "higher ups" like Theresa St. Clair so enthusiastic (at first) when he was taking over the company if they knew of a lackluster past? As I'm sure you've noticed, I am no ardent defender of Dale Nabors. However, I would not call anyone who would take over this train wreck of a company a <i>coward</i>. To the contrary, it was a huge and very public risk and I think he's paying for it dearly. As you are a great believer in courageousness, might I suggest that you post under your real name so that he can't make the same claim about you? Guest:

Some of the higher up managers at Medina were concerned about this new consultant coming on board & investigated/called Dwyer Group. Their comment was that they did remember Dale but that he NEVER AMOUNTED TO MUCH & WAS LET GO. That should have been a RED FLAG for Morg at the time. But I guess not. Dale has proven to be an absolute weasel & coward! He tells people such bull (this includes zees, s-employees, current employees, media) that I believe he truly believes his on crap! WHAT A JOKE THIS SO-CALLED MAN HAS PROVEN TO BE. I truly feel sorry for his family. WHEN A PERSON CAN NOT STAND UP AND ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE BITEN OFF MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW & JUST LAY IT OUT FOR EVERYONE SO THEY CAN MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS… PLUS THIS SAME PERSON CONTINUE TO TELL PEOPLE LIES SO THEY WILL SEND IN MORE MONEY… ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS PERSON IS THE BIGGEST COWARD I HAVE EVER KNOWN!!!! Even if Dale did this now, he has waited tooooooooooo long and most zees are bankrupt because of his delays and deceit. Again… What a coward!!!
