Perhaps RM felt some of the things GP said in the sermon were worth remembering and didn't feel a need to scrap it.
GP did say something I really agreed with at the beginning of the message. It was about preachers wanting prayer for an anointing. He said, words to effect, "Laying hands on you isn't going to help if you don't fast and pray." And he said he didn't want normal church where you play three songs and have altar call. Totally agree.
Anyway, that is RM's call whether he felt the larger portion was worthy of keeping and it certainly doesn't make him a hypocrite.

It might show that he's more tolerant of people who disagree with him than some might think.

Besides, if DA had not have posted his clip on YouTube, no one would have paid any attention to it. I know when visiting preachers leave, we don't pay attention to what they did while there or what they are doing when they leave.
So, if everyone feels comfortable that Daniel has spent time - and think about this - to know what RM preached the week before and what GP preached the following week, he's spending a lot of time watching RM and I would want to know why. Then he posts on YouTube, here and AI. That's a lot of work to try and bring a man down, don't you think?
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay. I wouldn't want to be in DA's shoes.

I don't feel all that comfortable that DA put in that much time and effort. I wouldn't have done that, unless I REALLY had a bone to pick with someone. I'm not sure what DA's overall goals are. "Exposure" isn't the same thing as "holding someone accountable." T1 seemed interested in dialogue; I'm not sure what DA's end goal was, and it does feel very personal. (As things tend to when they get personal.)
I wouldn't be in the shoes of anyone trying to "bring down" another Christian.
