Comments on: Leo Laporte Blows up at Mike Arrington on Gilmore Gang! http://www.daleisphere.com/leo-laporte-blows-up-at-mike-arrington-on-gilmore-gang/ friedman: always supply your comparative advantage Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:44:02 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Dale Dietrich http://www.daleisphere.com/leo-laporte-blows-up-at-mike-arrington-on-gilmore-gang/comment-page-1/#comment-2606 Dale Dietrich Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:55:22 +0000 http://www.daleisphere.com/leo-laporte-blows-up-at-mike-arrington-on-gilmore-gang/#comment-2606 Thanks for that Chris. They left it unclear after their 'part 2' quasi-love fest, that wasn't a love fest. Mike and Leo genuinely made up but Gilmore wasn't having any of it. He was understandably upset that Leo shut down 'his' show, but took no responsibility for fostering an atmosphere that leads to predictable personal attacks and an overal unfriendly atmosphere. I have really had a difficult time watching/listening to the Gilmore Gang based on the 'Cross-fire' atmosphere Gilmore brings with him. Almost like Rush Limbah. As I said in my Friendfeed comment, Leo doesn't need that on his network. It is not a good fit for his friendly/collegial network. Gilmore will be best served elsewhere and Leo will be best served without him.<br><br>...Dale Thanks for that Chris.

It would be difficult (and probably awkward too) for him and Steve. Leo was saying on tuesday on his live stream that the Gillmor Gang will not be on the TWiT Network.

It's definitely complicated.
