I can't say I'd never buy any writing by someone whose expressed opinions I regard as loathsome, but I'd need a jolly good reason.
The thing is: how come anyone pays attention to someone's opinions? Is it because s/he is a well-known writer/actress/artist/performer? If so, does that make their opinions any more worthwhile than those of someone less well-known?
And if I am buying this person's product, am I not helping give him/her a platform?
I do believe in free speech, but I don't owe anyone a megaphone.
