Duncan, if you examine the comments on Tyme’s site carefully, you’ll see some of the 9rules sheep shouting all kinds of tomfoolery, mostly at Cowboy and me. One of these sheep summed things up nicely by saying:

Chris – I think everyone is thinking right now that if you were loyal to 9rules, you wouldn’t be writing for a site that has so little respect for the network you are in.

It doesn’t matter that “you� didn’t say anything. It’s your association.

Does this not stand in direct opposition to the Scrivs/Tyme/porn thing?

It’s obvious to me that Tyme is making mental reservations so she can feel good about her involvement with 9rules. Frankly, it’s amazing to me that people have already adopted attitudes towards 9rules that smack of such blind fanaticism.

Also, kudos for asking the question, “who is now running the show at 9rules?” Personally, I feel as though a man ought to run his business with conviction and decisiveness. At this point, who knows where Scrivs stands? Will he morph his philosophies tomorrow to accommodate a new officer? Will he continue to let his business by dictated by a few emails from pissed off parents (who then turn to the comments at Tyme’s and drop F bombs like it’s Hiroshima)?

There are so many conflicts of interest going on at 9rules it’s amazing. They’ve pretzeled themselves up nicely; now we can all sit back and watch while they try and unravel.
