G+_Mark Swaim Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Apparently, this was recorded during a commercial break of "The Tech Guy" this last Sunday. This was the response I expected during TWIT(without fowl language). This recording was edited in a pro No Agenda stance and obviously Leo was angry when responding to the chat room bombarding him with why John this or that. The whole conflict between Leo and John I wish wasn't going on. But Leo is right in that it is a private matter. I don't expect a show where they publicly hug each other and forgive and forget. Also feel it's a waste of energy to confront Leo to forgive John. Their both adults and know of other ways to communicate other then Twitter. https://youtu.be/FI6dgXSqFzM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tim Allen Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 After reading all the tweets between Leo and John, seeing Leo go back and forth from apology to being snide, I'm a bit concerned for his well-being. I think we all just need to let this go. I'm quite frustrated with him myself, but I wouldn't want to see anything bad happen. He's a human being with frailties, just like us all.

G+_Tom Justtom Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm done with Leo he is rotten to the core. and I'm only watching a few remaining personalities I like. While they are there. If you choose to follow him still your well what you consume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Uncle Joe (Uncle Joe Hi Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Leo injects his fair share of social commentary that I don't care for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Tom Justtom That's a loaded subject Tom. We don't know what kind of harassment and threats Leo has had to deal with over the last 2 years. Maybe I'm naive, but not having John on the show is not to punish John. It's to punish trolls who keep threatening TWIT staff. I'm probably misinterpreting Leo's stance. But I see Leo is giving John a loud message to take responsibility for your fans who are behaving like trolls. Both Adam and John's stance has always been they don't condone any wrongdoing they do.But also that they can't control what they do. I believe Leo is fed up with their stance.

G+_Paul Comeau Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ah so that's what happened. (missed the twitter dust up). Not too surprised, Dvorak hasn't been adding much to the show for a while. Plus given Leo's attitude about sponsors, I can see where he is going to get annoyed if a guest denigrates them.

G+_Stephane Duteriez Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The few time I listened to the No Agenda Show, they started the show by criticizing the TWIT show. ?I did like in the No Agenda Show that they try to look beyond the media coverage of news but they was some strange reasoning that I couldn't agree with. I only listened to the TWIT network for a couple of years and Leo often change is mind and he is the first to recognise it. If you can have on one side people never switch they should be a place for people that like everything like him. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Josh Frye Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 David Pick I know a few things that were publicly mentioned. I believe there were a few chatroom mods that were getting fed up and burned out with the banning of trolls and the like. So they wanted to actually move on. I don't know what those trolls were doing nor what was going on to a T. But that was mentioned by Leo after they took feedback from the viewers and decided to keep the chat going until a solution could be found. I am not sure why they needed to get a metal detector to screen visitors to the brickhouse but the need for one was also mentioned on air. And I believe at least one bomb threat. Again I am only going on what I have seen and heard here in the community and on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_unindicted conspirator Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It always comes back to "The Trolls". When people engage in criminal acts they are not tolls. They are criminals. Calling them trolls is doing them a favor. Leo said that he believed the criminal acts were done by one person. I kind of doubt only one, but probably a small number. Unfortunately, people are nasty creatures. Always have been and always will be. Technology just makes the situation worse. If you can't take all the nasty feed back you should pull a Boehner and find a new line of work. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Josh Frye Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Mr Knowbot Okay, tis why I asked. I was getting something totally different from what you said. Online text is bad for getting the inflections and emotions behind what a person types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_unindicted conspirator Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Josh Frye The nasty (non criminal) attacks on Leo bother him and he has admitted it. I don't blame him for being bothered by it either. I probably would not be able to deal with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Gordon Smith Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I see nothing wrong with what Leo says in this video. He wants a panel of people who actually want to talk about tech and have informed opinions. Grumpily calling everything bullcrap isn't the kind of nuanced commentary he wants anymore.
