Re: “Local audiences need a lesson in etiquette”

Perhaps the theater-goer needed clear direction from the stage too. Something along the lines of "Please shut the fuck up!"

Re: “Hugh Howey explains why he removed controversial blog post”

" It has been called misogynist; I was only being rude to an individual who was being rude to me."

Howey's apology would be a lot more convincing if, in his post — which did come across like a shrieking screed — he hadn't focused so much on the woman's youth, appearance and demeanor and all kinds of other irrelevant garbage. His rant, penned so many months after the event in question, made it crystal clear he would never brook a challenge to his promotional 'expertise' from someone he obviously despised for being younger, for not conforming to his ideas of beauty, for not being as successful as he is, and most of all, for being female. His apology acknowledges none of this, so it appears that his self-awareness is limited when it comes to the breadth and scope of his misogyny. It isn't enough to write strong fictional female characters; any male writer with a skill for marketing has the sense to do that. It's in these real life moments of reactionary impulsiveness that a man has to demonstrate a little self-awareness and find a better way of expressing himself.

In addition to that, by showing such poor judgment, Howey completely validated the woman's arguments. He needs a skilled professional to handle his PR and marketing.

Re: “Carolina Film Alliance hopes to raise film rebates with legislation”

You are an idiot. I am a filmmaker and the sheer amount of money put back into the local economy is great. Last year alone, North Carolina and Georgia had billions of dollars from film productions put back into the local economy. South Carolina is the crap sandwich between the two. Army Wives is the only thing thats semi sticking here but if we dont try and help out filmmaking here, we will lose that. South Carolina is rich with scenery and breathtaking views, we should let the whole world see it more. Take a brief look at any movie made here and you can see the money that is put back in. Trident Tech is one of the schools down here trying to help their students into film careers. Most of the students don't want to move away if they don't have to. If we had films come here more often then we can give them all chances to get into a field that is world renown. Stop by TTC and you all can see for yourselves that film is a great business and we need it.

Re: “Local Bravo reality show will star T-Rav, other 'Southern aristocracy'”

They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one. It's funny that only the nouveau riche have stepped forward to be on this show.

Re: “Why is this man so angry?”

I absolutely adore Charles Green & Michael. What they do is cool! They get pissed, they fuck around. But at the end of the day, these two love each other. And you can see that, too! I have been following them for years and years and will continue to support them! I wish you guys all the best! <3

Re: “Pink House Art Gallery to close this month”

Still get a little confused about the age of some of the houses downtown despite the numerous times the city has been reportedly destroyed by war, hurricanes, fires and earthquakes. Decimated is one thing. But destroyed?

Re: “Local Bravo reality show will star T-Rav, other 'Southern aristocracy'”

First of all, I always heard you weren't "of Charleston" unless your grandparents(at least) were born there. Certainly not if you people bought a house South of Broad in 2008! The idea! Secondly, just because your name is Ravenel, a name that has been around since the Hugeunots first came to Charleston, you are not automatically an "aristocrat." There is something negative to be said about being an ex con, after all, and in such a public way. A nonreality show, for sure.

Ravenel is a disgrace to Charleston, the community, The Citadel, and a known racist. This is a God-awful.
