The quality of a person -- someone worthy of your respect -- is not a function of the quality of their work. There are many, many people out there that produce great art, science, &c and yet some of these same people are -- to be blunt -- pieces of cr-p in all other respects. You should make the call as whether or not you wish to support someone that you dislike on a personal level... and even if you do, it's not like they are going to marry your daughter or something.
