Authors I'm simply not interested in notwithstanding, there's only a few I'll actively avoid for their views. Dan Simmons is actively evil as far as I'm concerned, for instance. But Card was someone who wrote a novel that I feel I came across at exactly the point in my life where I needed to come across it, only to become, well, just not a good person anymore a few years after.

I get the whole Brain Eater phenomenon with SF/F writers, but it always sort of disappointed me.
