No. It wouldn't. Firstly, known hatemongers in one person's eyes are reasonable people in the eyes of others. Instead of "other" readers you probably should have said "people who have read it". And if you trust those people it is reasonable for you to choose not to read it yourself. It is not reasonable for you to simply jump on the bandwagon and condemn it unread.
