[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6356538, member: 9037"] There have been several blogs comments I read that worry me on this subject and that is if you know that someone has done something bad and you still choose to buy their work then you are at worse condoning their crime or at best you are saying you don't care. I don't believe that. I personally can't watch Woody Allen films. I doubt I will ever read any MZB books but I will still read the Drakover novels being written by new authors. But I have no issue with people who enjoy Allen movies. Things are rarely black and white take the Chik Fla A boycott I choose not to buy food from there but I have a friend who does care as much as I do about LGBT rights who feels differently his point is what about all the employees who depend about their paycheck should they be punished too. He had a valid point. My point was valid too I don't want my money going to someone who uses it to openly discriminate against other people. I don't have an issue with people's views if they think homosexuality is a sin fine that is their opinion but when they support groups that are imo hate groups then I have to say no. David Gerrold the SF writer is openly gay he did not support the boycott of Ender's Game. There was some backlash against Card over some comic he had been hired to write. Gerrold said it disturbed that any writer would be banned from writing because of their beliefs to him it would be as bad as someone not letting him write because he was gay. At the end of the day we all just have to decide where we draw the line for ourselves. The Michael Vick thing really bothered me I feel that animal abusers are a special evil. The man should never be allowed to own pets again. But once he did his punishment he should be allowed to continue with his life. The fact that people wanted him banned from playing football did not make any sense to me. His career as a football player had nothing to do with the animal abuse. Secondly once someone has dome their time they should not be punished the rest of their life for it. He has right to use his talent to make a living. [/QUOTE]
