yuki_onna has a great post about why it's perfectly easy to boycott books of people who say appalling bigoted stuff on the Internet.

It is not, as so many people seem to think, some dogmatic decision to only engage with people who think exactly like me. Rather, life is short, books cost money, and when it comes down to deciding what I want to read -- allowing for a few cases of staggering genius that actually makes these decisions complex -- I'm not going to read stuff by people who are hateful, threatening and rude to me and mine, online or off.
