Neil deGrasse Tyson off the hook!

There has to.be a few good men we can look up to.

People have been discussing this a lot in the worlds of art and literature where I spend most of my time. Some great writers were terrible people. 

The sanest approach I've heard so far is to examine what their work contains. If appreciating their work requires of us that we share those horrible values, then the work should be ignored. If, on the other hand, the creator was flawed but the creation rises above it, there is no need to deprive ourselves of something good. 

This applies best to dead people, of course. People who still have the power to abuse should be deprived of the power to do so. 

Everybody is weak and flawed. By our productions we attempt to rise above that, and offer something good. That should be worth something.
