Granted. But I never felt his harshness was arbitrary. He judged people - look at his reaction to Mickey in "Rose". (Justified, I always felt!) Ten often has a different outlook - he likes Mickey. As an example. How would Ten treat Adam?
But Nine did change his attitude to Mickey over the course of the season. Yes, he wasn't impressed with him in Rose, but by the end of the Aliens of London two-parter he'd changed his mind because Mickey had risen to the occasion. IIRC, didn't he invite Mickey to join them and it was only because Mickey wasn't ready and didn't want Rose to know it that Nine made it look like he didn't want him around.
