No problem. This is the first I've heard of any of this, and I really think that the fans and the media (such as it is) have blown it out of proportion. Like I said, I totally get what Jensen was saying, and I love that he knows enough to take what they give him and make it Dean's.
I've also noticed something of a pattern with Jensen: if he doesn't like something, he won't say anything until after the fact, when it's over and done with and it's water under the bridge. I'm thinking specifically of his disappointment in the finished product of Devour, and how I've never heard him say anything bad about Jessica Alba, though she made things difficult for him during Dark Angel. I've not found him saying anything about it until after the fact, after she'd apologized and they'd made amends, and things are good. He speaks nicely of her.
Or the scene in "Lucifer Rising" that he expressed some displeasure with, but couldn't exactly go against the creator of the character.
So, yeah, I totally get that Jensen was frustrated with Dean seeming to be "softer" on the page. And he's honest about his frustration. But I also got the impression that he's moved beyond that and is working as hard as he ever has to bring Dean to life.
