There is quite a big difference between Gmail and a just for fun ascii art generator.
I could see this guy being upset if he wasn't given credit for it. But the new version gave credit to his original from the very start. Kind of a weird thing to get mad about.

The guy took the creator's code without permission and altered it to insult the creator, then when the creator expressed unhappiness with this, he hit the creator's comment section with more insults and entitlement.
