Many years ago when I was a lowly programmer working out of a cubicle my boss imparted to me some accumulated wisdom.
“Never say someone is a fucking idiot in writing, they never forget”
It seems like the current equivalent is calling Leo Laporte’s main squeeze Yoko. That was their sin. A minor slip, but banning ensued.
Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young seem to want to move on, to let hasty words be forgotten. But the sting of ‘Yoko’ lingers.
The stench of it, the sound of it, echoing through the tubes of internetdom. Leo can’t forget and he won’t forgive.
Before the recent TWiT meetup in Austin, Brian made some entreaties and was rebuffed. Apologies not accepted. No face-to-face was to be.
So maybe more begging? Or realize that a man will be judged by his actions and Brian and Justin are better off standing up and accepting whatever was said as truth.

It’s not.
