In the video above, you can listen to Leo Laporte say that John C. Dvorak is persona non grata at the TWiT Shoebox Studios. That means “personally unacceptable or unwelcome”, for those not well-versed in Latin.
I’m a bit too lazy these days to work all the past links about Dvorak into a witty, amusing narrative, so here’s a list of links of the times Leo Laporte and Lisa Laporte have mistreated and demeaned him:
- Leo Laporte Bans John C. Dvorak from TWiT for Expressing His Opinions Elsewhere
- Leo Laporte Further Insults and Erases Prior Friend John C. Dvorak
- Leo Laporte Says John C. Dvorak “Used to Be a Very Well-Respected Tech Writer”
- Leo Laporte Insults John C. Dvorak Again and Blames Him for the Schism
- Leo Laporte Likens John C. Dvorak to a Dishonest TV Preacher
- Leo Laporte Insults John C. Dvorak’s Writing on Windows Weekly
- Leo Laporte Admits He Rode John C. Dvorak’s Coattails
- Leo Laporte Says John C. Dvorak Threatened Him
- Leo Laporte Calls John C. Dvorak a Thief
He really can’t help himself. Soup has claimed that Lisa Laporte reached out to John in the past at his behest and apologized on Leo’s behalf, requesting that Dvorak come back. But, Leo lets himself go on shows like this and tells the truth.
Leo Laporte absolutely can’t stand John C. Dvorak’s independent thoughts on the successful No Agenda show.
Thanks to an anon from #drama

I know the last time he was on it was with Jolie O’Dell and the panel was an absolute disaster. I blame that on the producer who books the guests. not on JCD or Jolie.
John doesn’t tow the hyper progressive/Silicon Valley/BS vendor line. It’s no surprise he got ousted from the MSNBC of tech.

Good, this whole “tech review” thing is a dying industry. How many times can you review the same phones every year and say “oh yes it’s better because there is no bevel” or “It’s better because the color changed!” Especially when talking about it for hours on twit! Does anybody know if this is what the original screen savers was about? Reviews? I thought it was computer help, video games, and all the good stuff. Now you watch the “new screen savers” and it’s just a soul less show like all the rest on twit.

Pournelle has talked about how he loves Newt Gingrich before. I don’t know if that is why he isn’t on or if it is just his age.

Leo has treated Dvorak poorly that’s for sure. I do miss hearing JCD discuss tech on a regular basis and it irks me that his main broadcasting outlet is No Agenda which I’m just not a fan of. And it pisses me off that Leo is partially right disparaging that conspiracy laden drivel. Dvorak was a pioneer in tech journalism and his participation in an Alex Jones rip-off podcast is beneath him regardless of how lucrative it might be.
TheButthole» Quote comment
Same here.
I looked forward to listening to the TWIT episodes with JCD; nowadays i don’t listen to any tech podcasts let alone any TWIT shows. Tried No Agenda several times but it wasn’t to my interests.
I cannot help feeling like Leo has burnt quite a few friends in the years since I stopped downloading TWIT. Shame to see and hear so much animosity towards former colleagues & friends.
Perhaps humility will come back to Leo when TWIT fades into history…i cannot be alone in giving up listening to his network (for me it was the rambling that drove me away).

Such much negativity when there’s so much to be positive about on both sides. JCD is absolutely spot on about Sandy Hook and all the other media & government hoaxes being perpetuated daily.

I get that No Agenda can be polarizing, but at its core it’s about deconstructing and analyzing the mainstream media. The show is invaluable during the times that we live in.

So by Leo’s logic anytime “Children” are involved weather true or not we must believe the official story??? WTF No wonder liberals have degraded so much
Alex Lindsay» Quote comment
No danger of you doing anything witty.
Leo just alters reality in his head to fit his narrative because actually he hates JCD since he said the clock kid was much ado about nothing and was proven right. The entire tech press ate that shit up and JCD bucked the crowd, Leo makes up his own story about sandy hook and tries to fool people like this milk toast Larry guy. Leo even brought up JCD making fun of larrys lisp to get Larry to be anti-JCD. Anyway he tries to fool them that sandy hook is the reason he isn’t on TWiT but he isn’t on because he refused to be on after TWiT begged him. Small penis Leo can’t handle this so he creates this other narrative. JCD ignores Leo and that makes Leo feel small. Leo is fake news.
NO AGENDA IS AMAZING, FUCKING LOVE THAT SHOW.
Lecia is (b)anal» Quote comment
You are right about so much there and, I’ll add that ; Leo Le Fucks biggest mistake and greatest loss was his disconnect from JCD. Far worse than following his dick through Lisa to where he’s at now, his attempt at tempering John’s attitude toward and observations of Clock Boy forced his “TV Show Host” hand to where he had to ban John. Banning only matters when it is from somewhere or something that matters. Twit hasn’t mattered in any way, anywhere for years.
So Leo’s loss was immediately JCD’s gain. John hasn’t had time for Twit in years since Twit has been irrelevant but he would show up from time to time if for nothing more than to preserve their friendship. They had a great and long history. John C. didn’t care about Leo’s lack of significance when the C stands for caring, you know you’ve got a good friend in JCD. Leo lost that to seem like some kind of voice of reason – some moderator of something that matters, that leads the way. Twit hasn’t been either of those things for quite some time. And leo was as wrong about Clock Boy as JCD was right. TWIT was never a waste of time with John at the table. Since he’s been gone it’s always just a last breath gasping of leo’s ego continuing to believe that he has something, He does not.
justthisguy» Quote comment
Is it true that John’s ban stemmed from a disagreement over the Clock Boy propaganda? I could’ve sworn it was when he and Jolie O’Dell essentially ran wild on an episode of TWiT (link below).

This all has to do with SDS, Small Dick Syndrome. For those who are into gaming, we just observed this with Colin Moriarty and Greg Miller. Colin’s got a huge dick, and he ain’t afraid to admit it. So naturally he was fired from Kinda Funny.
It’s no secret that John’s got a 3rd leg, and that his ban came around the same time we found out Leo has, what us old folks call a Lincoln Log. He’s been jealous of John for years, and when he saw Jolie flirting with him that was the end.

People have affairs for a number of very complex reasons, I wouldn’t doubt that it affected his daughter and contributed to any problems that she may have, but I do think it’s important not to take an overly simplistic view of things when the facts aren’t fully understood. Perhaps we should give Leo the benefit of the doubt? He is human after all and we all make mistakes. Maybe we should have some compassion and understanding and not take a blinkered view that we know all the facts when we simply do not.
JohnCray» Quote comment
The facts are that he’s a horn dog who got the hots for the boss and succumbed to desires, then lied about it to his family and audience. If it weren’t for the sensual messaging and sexting being caught by viewers he’d still be married and cheating on his wife.
Leo is a piece of shit, scum of the earth.
Lou» Quote comment
It’s easy to build a story around what you want to be true, yes something may have been caught but what about the other possibilities? Maybe he was having other difficulties with his wife before then, we simply don’t know.
It’s best really to treat everyone with kindness and compassion, acknowledging that we all have flaws and there’s no real place for hate here. A family torn apart but please don’t pretend you understand the reasons why just because use or a couple of edited clips online to confirm your bias against somebody who you don’t like.
JohnCray» Quote comment
It’s pretty clear JohnCray you’re either totally ignorant of the Monster Leo Laporte is or your’re a little airy fairy hippy snowflake with their head up their ass who’s not interested in knowing the truth of the psychopath Leo Laporte and the countless acts of perversion he’s openly displayed to all his young viewers. I’m guessing it’s probably both. You fail to appreciate the reality that Leo hates himself and everyone around him. He’s spiraling out of control and ruining lives in the process. Total Drama is simply chronicling this downfall and having some fun along the way. You don’t have to like it. But we love it. Anybody who supports or feels sorry for Leo is a piece of shit just like Leo. It appears you sir are a piece of shit. Kindness and compassion…acknowledging flaws…my ass. Leo broadcasts perversion and hate daily…you’re such a fan boy “Leo dick sucker” you refuse to realize this reality. You’ll never wake up. Never.

Hello Roger,
I’ll be honest, when I first read your reply to my message, I did have a little cry. Thankfully no one saw me doing it but I wanted you to know that those words really affected me; they cut me real deep.
But you see that’s the problem when someone speaks the truth about something I’ve been hiding for years. However, as I wiped away the crusty tears from my delicate, gentle cheek, I began to realise that perhaps I have been wrong about this?
You seem to be quite intelligent, making your point so concisely without resorting to insults or posturing.
You hit me with fact after fact, laying out the evidence like a professional debater. Perhaps a career in politics beckons if it hasn’t already?
I’m not too arrogant to admit that your post left me a little bit confused as I tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together with my tiny little snowflake mind. I felt like Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code. Only in this situation I wasn’t sure if I had the intelligence to solve the gargantuan question which you (and indeed Hanks) understood and conveyed with such ease.
Perhaps there is a place for hate after all? Secretly it feels quite good to hate, i have to admit. Secretly.
The truth is I am, and have always been a libtard snowflake. Slowly, I am coming to realise that the world would be a lot safer if we who listened to common sense people like you without worrying about nonsense concepts like compassion or kindness.
From now on I’m not going to try to understand people’s issues or have any compassion for anyone.
If someone’s marriage has broken down it’s very unlikely that there are complex issues behind it. It’s much more likely that one of them is just being a bit mean so we should hate them and post on forums an attempt to propagate this important message.
Also, from now on I’m only going to read stories and opinions from people that confirm my bias towards the narratives I believe to be true. It’s much simpler that way and my tiny little mind can cope much more easily when I don’t have to question things.
Thank you Rodger you have open my eyes and my mind. I owe you big time.
Love John x

JohnCray» Quote comment
I guess you are a butthurt liberal considering you just wrote an essay entirely devoid of anything but insults.
Leo’s antics and misbehaviours are clear to anyone with open eyes even without this blog documenting it all. Sure a lot of marriages have problems and end in divorce, but fucking around until the exact moment you are caught and then proceeding to throw everything away for your mistress to show everyone you’re not just fucking around but have finally found the love of your life at 60 years old in your third marriage is something only a complete loser and cretin would do. A normal person goes to couples counselling, they deal with the breakup and then go find someone else. How do you not see the difference?
