This is something I seem to be coming across a lot more often lately. People can't accept a viewpoint from someone that is mean towards a subset of people, or refuses to accept public opinion on a specific topic, while having done something amazing to progress human forwards in a specific area. If you can't appreciate the amazing work they did without compartmentalising their character, I consider that a fault.

Taking sound advice from someone who you disagree with on a philosophical/religious/etc level is vital to strengthen your character. In my opinion :)
