I can understand a level of concern about a mud owner (especially a mud owner whose mud is always in the first or second place) purchasing TMS, but I think it's worth giving the new owner the benefit of the doubt. Derek is a good guy and in any case, I'm sure many people will be watching him like a hawk for any sign of undue influence over the voting. I'm also sure Derek is aware that a good portion of the site's major supporters (in terms of traffic and advertising dollars) would leave if his actions generated even a small cloud of suspicion of corruption.
I don't know what the sale price was, but I'm sure it was enough that Derek is not in any hurry to ruin TMS (a business) just to boost Aardwolf (a hobby).
