This is sad. I grew up watching his show on Tech TV and reading his columns in PC Magazine. He used to butt heads with Leo Laporte and it was great: https://youtu.be/C96YG7qzN80?t=142
And Leo will say nothing but nice things about him and express nothing but regret when he talks about this on the next episode. I am not sure John would have done the same.

Why take this to a place of insults and divisive antagonizing?

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.

Rest in peace, sir.
I'm going to post something that contradicts this outpouring of fondness for the late Dvorak. While I did enjoy his friendly curmudgeon act in the days of TWiT, I was very dismayed by him jumping in bed with that paranoid crackpot and I blame him for a lot of toxic ideas that he helped spread in his No Agenda show years. Maybe his earlier act was the mask and the latter John C Dvorak was the real persona. Or maybe th…

I'd say this def rates a black bar.

I like that his Wikipedia page really sells that he was a Kentucky Colonel. That was one of the easier titles I've gotten.

I used to transcribe his articles to a text file and post them to Usenet. Fond memories of that time.
I used to transcribe his articles to a text file and post them to Usenet. Thank you for your service. People like you were how people in other countries learned about technology and of other cultures in the days before the internet. Some person (people?) would post scripts from Red Dwarf on one of the networks years before the show became available televisually in the United States. I used to devour those and laughed…
