Re: No Nick3131 dinner
Here's my take...
The guy is/was like the JBM mascot. People started picking up things for him to get to Florida to look for a job after he was liberated from SIC.
I dont know for sure, and this is only my opinion, but it looked from where I was sitting that some people were trying to get themselves over and look good. I wont use double talk here, I'm talking about WEG Cory in particular (if you need my contact info to have a lawyer "put me on notice", let me know).
Cory got someone from another company to get Nick a badge and then made a show of it. I'm willing to be wrong about my perception here and Cory's intentions, but I haven't seen him really clarify it himself, so I'm assuming I'm right.
So Peaches offers to buy the guy dinner. Immediately everyone in the thread starts saying "what about drinks?". Ok, fine, I'll kick in $100 for drinks. My offer was sincere. But I did ask for pictures as I admit that I suspected putting the guy in a nice restaurant with drinks was likely to create some entertainment. Big deal, he's been providing his life as entertainment for 2 years.
GonZo is onsite and when I fill him in, he's willing to front the money and kick in another $100 of his own. He had no interest in going to dinner with him, but hey he hasn't been pretending to be the guy's pal either.
Bottom line, of the guys like Cory who want to help or be good to the guy when it makes them look good on the board, none of them would actually step up and spend a couple of hours with the guy at dinner. And FWIW, MFM even offered to pick up the tab of whoever took Nick to the dinner.
