    Obviously, because using their software is tacit or implied support for that person.

    How many millions of people would say they “support” mozilla when really the only support they provide is using the free software.

    A person’s work is quite obviously tainted by their beliefs.

      In the minds of the politically-motivated, maybe.

      Not all minds are politically-motivated.

      The blunt fact that people are multidimensional, & some are high-integrity-in-work while being low-integrity-in-business, or are excellent-woodworkers-while-being-family-abusers … what a person is in 1 dimension oft has nothing to do with what they are in another.

      Ideologues who insist otherwise are living within their ideology, not within actuality.

      Spiders may creep many out, while their silk is one of the most astonishingly-awesome materials known.

      their silk doesn’t itself creep people out…

      but maybe ideologues hold that it has to be creepy because to them spiders themselves are creepy…

      Cult-“thinking”.
