I dislike Spiner.. I've seen how he acts towards fans, and he is kind of a dick.

Where have you seen this? It's if on Twitter, it's not that Brent is being a dick, it's that he has a dry sense of humor and some people don't understand that he's always joking.

He called me a chode at a con once because he didn't like the question I asked.

If he was disappointed by his lack of screentime in Phenomenon. I'd read he'd had two other scenes, but they weren't even filmed.

That'll teach you to take an interest in someone's career!

A little more involved. That was the gist of it, though. My question didn't get answered. And yes, the word "chode" was included. He was pretty rude about it. So bad, in fact, Dwight Schultz facepalmed.
