"That the man in question and his body of work should be looked at as a whole before passing judgment."

Stunning.

Sick#1: that we should disregard the content of any piece and judge an elite with special treatment, different standards than "lesser folk". That is not democracy.

Sick#2: if he is prominent and a leader, why does that LESSEN the burden of being ethical? Doesn't it INCREASE his responsibililty as a role model and category leader?

Sheesh.
