Just after the 45 minute mark he's asked about Hot Chili and that's his opening comment, he then strangely supports him, but he's already burned him. He goes on to talk about the need for a high grade starter pit. One of the directors that left, Nicole Adshead Bell has come in for high praise from Rick Rule calling her a quality human being so maybe he's not too happy with her treatment.Interesting. I've only heard him rave about him. Maybe he's lost faith. Can you post a link to that?
Or, he's been reading the stock forums comments about him and has decided to join the chorus. He's losing his shirt and pants on this dog with fleas.
What I find very interesting is that NAB was supposedly planted in HCH on RR's behest. Perhaps her departure was at the same time RR decided CE wasn't well liked? The plot thickens.
