I wouldn't lump Jefferson in that crowd: the slavery issue is one of cultural differences to a certain extent, and it's worth noting that he had a very good relationship with his slave, he was not some abusive rapist like many other slave owners.
Anyway, I really have no problem separating the personal issues from the creative output. In fact, I kind of view them as given. Maybe it's because I'm a creative-type, and I know a lot of creative-types, but everyone has their issues, and the bigger the genius, the bigger the issues that are likely present.
