I read VFTW for some of the content, but found that Gary to be entitled, arrogant, argumentative, and passionless through his blog articles.
He acts like he is an entitled person because of his status with hotels and airlines, thinks he is the authority on food (see his claims on the best BBQ, best thai food, best korean food), has to write an article refuting every published blog or print article that he doesn't agree with, and complains via his blog when things doesn't go his way. For example, his trip report about how he had to wait in line to check in at a Hyatt in Singapore even though he is a diamond member. Has it ever occurred to him that there might be other diamond members in line?
He wrote an response to MileValue (who I don't care for either) article about Delta award space. MileValue claimed that the award space was the best he's ever seen. Gary wrote an article saying that it is great award space only if you don't love your wife or need more than one seat. In another article about family travel, Gary responded to the article saying that you can split up between cabins.
Was there a falling out between Gary and FT? He often says that he is not welcome here.
