What are his reasons for starting up his own paysite? Is he strictly looking for independence? If not, how much do you value the potential of his ideas? Enough to work with him in a partnership, knowing you'll be responsible for a good portion of the work in the end?

Personally, I've always valued good ideas above most anything else. But maybe that's cuz I don't think of myself as having the most dedicated work ethic. However, I know most of my ideas to be bad ideas. In order for me to know the difference I have to share my ideas with people I trust - the kind of people who have a work ethic higher than my own.

Maybe a situation where the two of you pit each other's strengths/weaknesses against each other might prove beneficial for both of you.
