Well, why dont you ask yourself that question since you did it in your very own post.
But I'll bite anyways..one part of it is because he was so left field above all else in his prime it seems like he doesnt even try in these times, so folks see him wasting talent..another reason for the biting criticism is because he sued fansites and such, coupled with his sometimes arrogant attitude in doing things that make it easier to criticize as he presents himself as a not so likeable guy "to some"
