Jim Shooter, lot of qualities and defaults both as an  editor and a writer, possibly as a man too.

Neil Gaiman, a talented writer, an important and enjoyable body of comics work and some good entertaining novels. But a person that appears now to be the exact opposite of the kind i thought he was. An insane, not sane in any way or healthy at all man, a disgusting and repulsive character if what we read yesterday is true. Way worse than what i thought when i first heard about some of it last summer. Probably a victim of a fucked up childhood at first, and a pervert in the end. At the very least, that's what it looks like! Yes, the filth of the man will make to me the work unreadable for a time and tainted from now on. I will make the difference between the work and the man, but i will nonetheless know what he is worth. I still have respect for the writer, i have none left for the person. Because i believe what the article says ; now it is time to let the law do its job, and probably psychatrists too.

This probably deserves its own thread, btw.

That NYMag article was a brutal read. Much, much, worse than I thought. 

I agree he was very successful on putting an affable front that prevented this stuff from coming to the surface for decades but have to say I haven't seen much twisting in his defense after the article came out.

Pretty much indefensible.
