I think Steve can present himself however he wants. He is certain to alienate a segment of the population no matter what he says!
A very successful author that comes to mind is Dan Simmons. You know how much hate there is for some of Dan's real-life views?
Or Orson Scott Card. We had a thread or two right here with plenty of people chiming in to mention how much they disagree with his views and some of what he puts into his books.
You can't please everybody all of the time. Unless you're a politician I don't figure you should try. Commercial success doesn't seem to be tied to presenting yourself as a nice or inoffensive guy. If you take a middle ground you offend few but also excite nobody.
