I suspect there are two different discussions going on here. I don't get the impression that anyone is saying deviant behaviour should go unnoticed just because someone is talented. The OP asked where you draw the line in terms of still appreciating that person's work. I view the work as mostly separate from the individual, and while I do believe that particularly talented people are often more likely to be a little eccentric, that's no excuse for illegal behaviour. I haven't seen anyone her making excuses for Roman Polanski or anyone else, just people saying they won't let his flaws stop them from enjoying his movies.
