Re: TMI about authors that ruined their work for you?

[(Anonymous)]

Learning about the late Patrick Moore's political beliefs (however understandable given the circumstances of death of his fiancée in WW2) kinda ruined a lot of the enjoyment I had previously gotten from his educational works. Those intro-to books on astronomy were a big part of my childhood and a reason I love the field. I just can't go back and read them again without the knowledge that the man was a complete xenophobe regarding the German people spoiling my enjoyment. I've heard he also had some very backwards things to say about black people and gays too, but I refuse to pry too deeply into that for fear of spoiling what is left of my respect for a man that was in many other ways a formidable astronomer (the last of the true professional amateur-scientists) if the rumors turn out to be correct.

Well, yeah, I actually tend to gloss over this a bit since then I'd have to drop just about all 19th century authors - there's an undercurrent of racism, homophobia, misogyny, what have you, almost everywhere.

Well Patrick was no 19thC writer, he only died a year or so ago. Was on TV with his astronomy show right up to the end.
