I know people, for example, who won't buy OS Card because of his religious beliefs and/or statements he's made on his blog.

OS Card (whom I used to LOVE) went quite off the rails. I won't read him anymore, although I feel quite sorry for him (he seems to have taken the nosedive after the death of his child) - not so much because I disagree with him, but because I don't think he has anything more worth saying.
I don't think LMB's words or actions are in the same planet - much less the same ballpark.
YMMV, but I think this brouhaha is pretty small potatoes.
