I distinguish between a persons work and their actions. I don't condone Polanski at all, but I am not going to judge his movies by his actions. Apples and oranges. And I am not going to play wannabe psychologist and subjectively try and see or think if his actions influence his work. I really don't care nor have the time.
Letterman banged some of his staff. If I am awake and he is on the tube, I will watch. That instance is personal I think, and has no bearing on me whatsoever.
But I see how some go down that road. Some years ago Jewish groups in my city tried to have Wagners Tristan and Isolde banned from the years orchestra concert schedule because of claims Wagner was an anti-semite. The way I see it, if you are offended by that, that's your business, don't go. If I go, it is about the opera, not what Wagner was or that I support his believes.
Not rocket science to me
