It was a combo platter of things. One (general) complaint was that Gary was always grubbing for money, including the infamous "breakfast tailgate" that he sponsored and charged us way too much for.
As for the content, he was just very heavy-handed in his censorship, and not just "profanity" or something objectively problematic, he had issues with anyone having information he didn't have or discussing things when he wanted to be the big-dog that everyone looked up to.
One specific item that bothered people, as well, was when he buddied up to the Yahoo writer who did the overblown "expose" on Nevin Shapiro. But there were plenty of other things, large and small. I just mentioned (above) that he wouldn't even let me post the Furman logo. It was insane.
And then don't even get me started on the RCT/Hurricane Mutiny exodus, when he threatened to sue a bunch of us.
Fvck the Fur Man.
Thanks for the info.
I'm pretty much a junkie for Canes (and College Football) coverage, but if the publisher of the site ain't right and doesn't do a good job ... then, ****, why bother
