Authors; yes. |
It seems that the main intention is to avoid providing money to authors (or their immediate heirs) whose behaviour one does not approve, even if the behaviour is not mentioned in the plot. That makes things a bit clearer to me.
I'm still a bit puzzled on how behaviour is rated, or found reprehensible, and unlike DiapDealer I have had 'a moral problem
with a book.' Some years ago I had collected all the 'Belisarius' series from Baen Books, and had enjoyed them. But the in the last one I read (as I remember) the two protagonists had deliberately destroyed a town with all its inhabitants because some people from the town had killed messengers sent by the protagonists. That to me was just as vile (though in a different way) as anything MZB did. So I deleted all the books from my reader and library, and have never bought anything from those authors again. I don't think I've bought anything from Baen again either, though that's probably going too far.
