Even if you think that's a self-serving version of the events, I notice that he disappeared pretty quickly and all the comments conerning me magically disappeared off of his fanclub page.
To say I'm proud of the whole thing isn't accurate, because despite what some may think, I'm not out to piss anyone off. But it is amusing that he took my criticism so personally amongst a sea of devout followers. I guess it's human nature. The real amusing part, though, was that he publically singled me out.
Uh, no. You kept saying "Mr. Schemmel, I just don't like it."
He was asking why you thought he was so "fucking terrible" at singing and voice acting.
There's no doubt that by being a public figure, particularly of the artistic/entertainer variety, you have to have a thick skin and try to let things roll off your shoulders. For both your own blood pressure and your time. Otherwise you'll spend hours each day being pissed off at all the guys talking shit about you. It's just going to happen that people aren't going to like what you're selling and some of the time they'll say so in abrasive ways. That might be because they're just abrasive people or it might be because it's easy to disassociate ourselves from the target of our criticism when they aren't face to face. I can say here that I think Jimmy Fallon is one of the worst cast members SNL ever had but if I ever ran into the guy I'd be pretty reluctant to say that to his face in those words. Not because I don't think it's true but because I don't like embarrassing people, particularly in a public setting.
Penguintruth pretty much did just that. I'm sure not intentionally. I don't think anybody posts on a message board that somebody sucks specifically intending for those comments to be read by the target. It's not like he posted it on Sean's Facebook wall. But given the public setting (which I think we all sometimes forget the internet is), and the abrasive delivery, it's pretty reasonable for Sean to think "WTF? This jerk has an axe to grind." It might not be "professional" to confront the detractor but it's human. Likewise I don't think Sean intended to single out Penguintruth over the probably hundreds of other people who might think he sucks. He just singled him out in that situation because those were the posts that he saw.
There's an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray confronts a radio host who doesn't like him. The confrontation at the end is sort of similar to what I'm seeing here.

I love the new Freeza voice, but I actually hated the old one. The more I hear this new one the more it doesn't sound like Linda Young. The laugh is wonderful.
I never once thought it sounded like Linda Young and can't understand why people are hearing her in Ayres's line. I still can't
not hear Pauline Newstone in it, though, no matter how hard I try. Yes, one line and all. I'll see if I still think that on Monday. But I can say hearing the two side by side that while the voices sound damn near identical to me, Ayres's performance of the line was much better, even without taking into account the script differences.
