I think he was referring to Bitcoin Markets, or w/e torrents you had up, being the pyramid scheme and not Bitcoins.
As you said, they have left other Bitcoin related material alone.
Bitcoin Markets is an open source project similar to the closed source/proprietary
http://bitcoincharts.com/ project that collects market data from all bitcoin exchanges and prepares the data for view on the web (website still in development), but also #bitcoin-markets (not to be confused with #bitcoin-market (with no s)) shows almost real-time trade data. I don't see how that project is in any way a ponzi scheme, similarly as to bitcoin charts not being a ponzi scheme.
