Curmudgeon is the perfect term to describe. He was a great part of TWIT. I liked his obscure software references (lotus Jazz was one I think). He also found this new thing is like that old thing. His non positive takes were a great addition to the show.

When Leo banned him is actually when I stopped listening to TWiT. Apparently he came back a few years later, but I never did.

  Apparently Dvorak was against net neutrality. He had the worst takes https://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=d0e55f3197099944345708652&id=031c00b6d3&e=53f8136959 https://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=d0e55f319709994434570865...

    I listened to his many pontifications about net-neutrality at that time. His concern was not the theory and practice of "net-neutrality". It was that "net-neutrality" was being used by various industry lobbyists and politicians at that time to justify the creation of a definition of "lawful traffic". By their definition, only "lawful traffic" would be subject to neutrality. Traffic that was not deemed "lawful traffic" would not be treated the same and could be shaped and blocked. It was at the time that Pirate Bay was under constant legal attack (2015) and BitTorrent was the "unlawful traffic". IMO this was a good take that not many journalists paid attention to.

    "Having TDS" is a ridiculous notion, please stop using that phrase.
  - jibal 2mo ago
    The only "TDS" is Trump devotion/defense syndrome.

      Stop fighting because of that buffon, folks. There's no TDS (whatever version of it you like). Trump himself is the disease. But yes, right-wing people still defending him, because he may still speak something they like about some issues, is like an abused partner telling the doctors in ER: "but he is a good husband"

        Trump is the symptom; the "disease" is whatever causes people to want him running the country over some traditional politician.

        You yourself pointlessly joined the "fight". The anonymous downvotes on my comment are themselves demonstrations of Trump devotion/defense syndrome.

    You really aren’t going to get very far intellectually with a rigid ideology that equates disagreeing with Trump to a mental illness. I’ll happily admit that Trump is right about some things, whether or not you’ll admit that he is wrong about some others.
