Leo laporte the Nice Guy Explodes on Air.

The above link is the moment as the TWIT (This Week In Tech) head honcho, and normally all around nice guy explodes on air. The catalyst for the whole thing was the Palm Pre, as Leo had received an seven day review model. A guest on his show Mike Arrington, who by all accounts had landed on a B list, was some how extremely jealous at this treatment, and decided let his frustrations out on Leo. Now Leo is known for being an easy going, easy to get along with nice guy. So the old saying is true, like myself don't push the nice guy too far, he will explode and you will not like the results. Respect to Leo for his reaction, and OK it will either mean no TWIT Gilmour Gang podcast or a very short one but, as far as I'm concerned respect must come first, and Mike Arrington needs to learn some fast, if he intends to continue in his chosen field. Being unfriendly, and down right impossible to work with, will mean that no one will want to work with him let alone know him.
Like I said full respect to Leo, for the handling of the situation, somethings just have to be done on the spur of the moment, and this was one of them.
