There's a lesson to be learned from this.  Every political or religious
argument, including this one, is an attempt to change other people's
behaviour by changing their beliefs.

One way you can influence other people is to try to prevent them from
reading books espousing ideas that you disapprove of.  If people seem
to be trying to discourage you from reading an author's works by
portraying that author as evil, GO OUT AND BUY THE BOOK AND READ IT, or
reserve judgement.  Find out for yourself if the author is evil, or
else treat the rumours as nothing but rumours.

To do otherwise is to allow other people to control your mind.
