I was really, really tempted by the snowflake butterfly option, but I chose "No, I avoid hearing authors' opinions lest it ruin their books for me" instead.
I do my damnedest to avoid knowing anything about anyone I don't actually know personally. I don't know the first thing about the private life of celebrities, politicians or my next door neighbours beyond what I absolutely can't avoid picking up by keeping company with actual human beings. If I hadn't been a member here I wouldn't have had the faintest clue that Orson Scott Card has any opinion at all on gays, or that other authors have any opinions on anything at all.
I'm also not on Twitter or Facebook and find most blogs to be unmitigated garbage.
